before the cross jesus demanded from people, the pharisees could keep the law and there own traditions so jesus demanded more, for example
Matthew 5:28
But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
he made an example of the pharisee's to israel
Matthew 5:20
For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Paul admits here below that according to the law he was blameless
philippians 3v6
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
jesus christ moved the mark of the law and made it impossible to keep (not because he was going to provide grace to keep it, this is false teaching} but he demanded from people so that he would be the only way because jesus was grace and truth, as we see in the transfiguration,
moses represents the law, elijah represents the prophets to israel, they both dissapeared and jesus grace and truth remained
Matthew 17
And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” 8When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
if the church is being taught the gospels as a healthy christian way of living then its is law because jesus demanded in the gospels but after rose from the dead he sent back the holy spirit who provides.
israel were given the beattitudes to follow,.............. the church was given the fruits of the spirit
israel were seeking gods righteousness and kingdom........the church is gods righteousness in christ
israel were carrying there crosses..........................the church has been crucified with christ and raised
israel were told to sin no more............................the church is dead to sin
israel were demanded to love the lord there god.........its not that the church loves god but that he loved us
Jesus never spoke to a born again christian
they didnt exist until he rose from the dead, only then did a human become
alive to god, dead to sin, free from the law, baptized into christ, christ righteousness, born of the spirirt, in christ, seated in heavenly places
jesus never spoke about these beautiful truths, but Christ revealed them to paul who had the management of grace to the church
