Law Covenant v. New Covenant of Grace – what are we to believe?

Law is eternal because free will is eternal by necessity but letters, commandments, days, diets, feasts, traditions, are NOT the focus of the New Covenant of Grace that replaced the Old Covenant of Law (Romans 6:14). In the New Covenant, the redeemed in Jesus don’t live daily pursuing letters, trying to conform to commandments or traditions, the redeemed serve the Father through obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit, NOT letters (Romans 7:6), and the redeemed produce divine fruit via the Spirit’s anointing…this divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) fulfills all forms of law; this fruit honors the Father; this fruit proves one to be a disciple of Jesus (John 15:8). Jesus declared, “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:16) and not by the laws they keep.

In the New Covenant of grace, faith and fruit are the focus of daily Christian sanctification via the Spirit; yes, there will be a partial return to Torah in the Millennial Kingdom SUBSEQUENT this present New Covenant of Grace established in the blood of Jesus (Luke 22:20); but until then, Grace and faith and fruit via the Spirit are the objects of peace with Elohim and obedience to His perfect will (Matthew 11:28-30).
