Torah and the Spirit,

Torah is a roadmap but NOT the destination. Jesus is the destination.

Torah does hint at a grace to come through Messiah but the reality of Torah is obedience to a Law Covenant given a people group sanctified by Elohim for eschatological purposes concerning the coming Messiah who was foreordained “to destroy the works of the devil” (Genesis 3:15;1 John 3:8b) via a Gospel of Grace, “a battle strategy” ordained “before Time began” (Genesis 3:21; 2 Timothy 1:8-10).

Torah Law demanded perfection (James 2:10) from a sin-nature that could never adequately comply (Romans 5:12; Romans 8:1-9); therefore, Torah only cursed those who sought righteousness through obedience to a written code provided at Sinai (Galatians 3:10); therefore, though Torah pointed to a grace that was to come via the Messiah, grace was NOT realized through Torah which emphasized National and personal obedience via compliance (Deuteronomy 28)…a compliance that could never truly be realized due the sin-nature inherited from Adam (John 1:17; Romans 8:1-6). Grace and Truth were ultimately realized, embodied, through Jesus our Messiah (John 1:17).

Jesus is our divine Rabbi provided by Elohim but our true Teacher is the Holy Spirit given those who trust in Jesus by faith (Ephesians 1:13-14). It is the anointing of the Spirit in our daily life as a Christian that teaches us through daily sanctification (1 John 2:27); this, via the redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) via a spiritual law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2) and NOT a law etched in stone or scratched upon parchment (Romans 7:6).
