Bible speaks about the law a lot, how Jesus Christ fulfilled the law, how we are to live from the faith, not the law. Hebrews 11 is a great chapter how faith is trust and action, Bible says that faith without works is dead, we want to keep our faith alive with the works of Christ, right!?
And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold. (Matthew 24:12)
Lawless people do iniquity, right? Righteous will live by faith and are free from judgement. Word Lawless is made of two words; law and less, in other words we could put it less than the law. Many say we have nothing to do with the law of Moses and the ten commandments. Well, Jesus gave us one commandment, love God and Love each other, the book of Jakob chapter 2 will open up faith, law and grace working together, for sure grace overcomes all, but it doesn’t make the other vain, but without grace of Jesus they are vain, for it is through grace we are saved. The book of Romans will open up the law / commandments for us a little more.
For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law. (Romans 13:9-10)
So that is true that we are not to live by the law, but the love we live in should fill the law says the Bible and is fulfilment of the law. This cannot be done by the mind of flesh, but by the Spirit of God.
For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
(Romans 8:6-8)
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man,
(Mathew 7:21-24)
These two verses show that even today people try to reach God through the law / by works of the flesh / by some spiritual power, even how Godly they seem, profecy, casting out demons... these are signs that follow those who believe and still the Lord says: depart from me, you that work iniquity. It wasn’t about these things that were wrong in their life, it was the other things in their life, see, it says the one who inherits the kingdom of heaven is the one who does the will of the father, which is summoned up in the great commandment of Love. It is very personal, very righteous mind, mind of Christ, mind of the Spirit. So do not be lawless, do not work iniquity, examine yourselves and be changed by the renewal of your mind into likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit is there to help and guide you. You are called to win the battle in your life and the battle of your life by the blood of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Have faith in Him and be faithfull to His word for He is the Word of God.
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him. (John 14:21)
