Torah Law – Relevant for the Christian?
God’s Law (Romans 2:14-15), the Law of the Spirit of Life (Romans 8:2), is eternal and has been relevant subsequent the creation of the angles as God’s Spiritual Law is the arbiter of free will in both Eternity and within the Realm of Time.
On the other hand,
Torah Law, much like the code of Hammurabi, is nothing new or novel but simply a codification of the eternal spiritual law etched in stone and given to a people group who were to be sanctified (set apart and made holy) for Elohim’s eschatological purposes. Torah Law was provided Israel’s children in hopes of negating a repeat of the failures of the Adamic/Noahic generations who had compromised with the demonic and negated their ability to produce the Messiah, a Messiah who was to enter Time and “destroy the works of the Devil” (Genesis 3:15; 1 John 3:8b) via a battle strategy known as “The Gospel,” a battle strategy which was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10; Genesis 3:21); therefore, Elohim etched nine-relevant moral edicts of the Spiritual Law (Romans 2:14-15) into stone (1-ceremonial law/the 4th) and commissioned Moses to scratch 603-ceremonial-civil laws on parchment in hopes of deterring Israel’s children from compromise with pagan tribes serving pagan gods that inundated the lands through which Israel’s children would travel; a demonic-paganized people who relentlessly sought Israel’s compromise with Baal and Molech.
Torah Law in the New Covenant,
Torah Law was given specifically to Israel’s children and sojourners with them seeking the protective benefits of that Theocracy. Torah Law has very little relevance in the New Covenant other than acting as a Tutor for wayward Jews and Israelite’s (Galatians 3:24) as the New Covenant is rooted in the eternal spiritual law which is enlivened by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the life of the redeemed in Jesus and the Spirit simultaneously employs both the redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) and the spiritual law written upon the heart of humanity on Day-6; the Holy Spirit, employing both the spiritual law and the redeemed conscience, walks the redeemed in Jesus in the daily process of sanctification and methodically guides the redeemed conscience to produce fruits of righteousness, fruit that honors the Father, fruit…against which there is no Law (Galatians 5); hence, Christians are not enslaved by Torah Law but serve the Father through the Spirit via a redeemed conscience and are therefore “free” and in “peace” with our Creator. Jesus proclaimed that you would know them by their “fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20). Christians are not under Torah Law but under grace through faith (Romans 6:14).
