Matthew 5:17-18 (KJV), Jesus said: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”

How can you say that Torah Law-Sinai-Moses are not the focal point of New Covenant Law?

Discussion,

Jesus said that Torah Law, the codified law (jot-tittle) would not pass until all be fulfilled…Jesus fulfilled Torah perfectly via His sinless perfection (Matthew 5:17)…Torah has passed (Hebrews 8:7; 2 Corinthians 3), codified laws are subjective i.e., Sinai-Moses, rules, regulations, diets, days, could never engender righteousness with the Father…so what Law is relevant in the New Covenant and how is that New Covenant Law made applicable to the individual?

New Covenant “Law”

What is relevant in the New Covenant is the Spiritual Law written upon the human heart by our Creator (Romans 2:14-15) which is arbitrated by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant as the Spirit produces divine fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) through the redeemed in Jesus, fruit that glorifies the Father (John 15:8) and fulfills all law.

You can chase after Sinai, Moses, Torah, Days, Diets, Fabrics, Traditions, Religion, till your dying exhalation but if you’ve not established New Covenant relationship with the Father by faith in the Son, Jesus, as your Messiah, you will die in Hell in the “second death” (Matthew 7:21-23; Galatians 2:16; Revelation 20:11-15).

Life in Time is NOT about subservience to rules and laws and ordinances but about personal, intimate, relationship with our Creator, Elohim, through faith in Jesus as Messiah (John 3) and our obedience then naturally manifests through adherence to the indwelling Spirit’s leadership gifted us by grace as Guarantor of New Covenant relationship (Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:16-23); this, as the Spirit produces divine fruit through the redeemed that honors the Father (John 15:8); in fact, unless you have established New Covenant relationship with the Father first through faith in the Son, your works are interpreted by the Father as a “filthy rag” or a “bloody menstrual cloth” in the literal Hebrew (Isaiah 64:6).

In closing,

Chasing and clamoring for the Father’s approval by pursuing obedience to Sinai, Moses, Days, Diets, Traditions, Religious rules and edicts, is insulting to the Father as you have made the affirmative decision to earn your own righteousness and reject the ONLY righteousness that will pardon your sin and provide you life in Eternity, the perfect righteousness of Jesus earned for you through His perfect, sinless, life and His perfect, sinless, blood shed for you at Golgotha.

Your obedience to the Father’s will (John 6:29) will provide the foundation from which your faith will produce fruit via the indwelling Holy Spirit; divine fruit that glorifies the Father (John 15:8; Galatians 5:22-23). Faith and Covenant FIRST – obedience naturally follows from a pure heart via the Holy Spirit’s anointing (1 John 2:27).
