What is God’s Law & What Parts are Still Binding on New Testament Believers:
None, Some, or All? (Matthew 5:17-48).
Today, our goal is to understand a straightforward question, but that question connects everything we read in this book called the Bible. Here is the simple question: What is God’s Law, and what parts are Still Binding on New Testament Believers: None, Some, or All?
WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE SABBATH DAY?
The Sabbath Day comes right out of the Law of God.
We have looked at the Seventh Day and God’s desire that all humans remember His as our Creator. This remembrance is built right into the rhythms of life in our seven-day week.
Then we looked at the Sabbath Day as laid down in the Law of Moses and God’s desire that the nation of Israel see Him as the Lawgiver and confess their need of a Redeemer as they saw their sinfulness.
Now we come to this vital two-part question:
1. WHAT IS GOD’S LAW & 2. WHAT PARTS ARE BINDING ON NEW TESTAMENT BELIEVERS: NONE, SOME OR ALL?
To answer the first question, we need to define God’s Law.
As we open to Matthew 5:17-48 today, we are about to hear the final and ultimate voice in any discussion of the Law. Our goal is simple. What was Jesus’ explanation of the Law?
Jesus as God speaking in Matthew 5 is the One who spoke and everything that exists in this Universe began.
Jesus as God the Son is the same one who instituted the 7th Day at Creation.
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath, which was written down on tablets of stone as the 4th Commandment.
