Actually, the Torah is but a mere fragment of the comprehensive spiritual law (Romans 2:14-15), the spiritual law having been infused within human kind on Day-6 as a bulwark against unrestrained narcissism as the spiritual law is arbitrated by the human conscience. It is that same spiritual law that judged Satan of covetousness before the creation of Time and that same law judged the Adamic and Noahic generations of defilement with the demonic resulting in the extinction of all mankind save eight.
When Elohim speaks of writing His laws on the heart of mankind, He speaks of the New Covenant where the indwelling Holy Spirit, given to all who trust in Messiah Jesus as Savior; these who have trusted, believed in Jesus are granted the Gift of the Spirit to dwell within them (Ephesians 1:13-14) and it is the indwelling Holy Spirit who becomes the Arbiter of the redeemed, enlivened, conscience, the new man (2 Corinthians 5:17), and the Spirit walks the new man and new woman in daily sanctification producing divine fruit through them that fulfills all law (Galatians 5:23); both, codified and spiritual, and this divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) actually pleases the Father and proves one to be a disciple of Jesus (John 15:8).
If Torah were written upon the heart void the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit to Arbitrate the redeemed conscience, Torah would be as impotent concerning righteousness with the Father as it was in the Old Covenant (Romans 8 ).
Torah Law v. New Covenant “Spiritual Law” & raison d’etre?
Torah’s sole raison d’etre or “reason for being” is Yeshua. The Pentateuch, the Historical Books, the Prophets, are all a roadmap, a path, to a specific eschatological destination and that Destination is Yeshua, our Divine Warrior prophesied to enter the Ream of Time via the virgin seed (ovum) (Genesis 3:15) for the primary reason of engaging in battle “to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b) via a divine battle strategy revealed as “The Gospel of Grace,” a divine battle strategy ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10); therefore, it is theologically accurate to conclude that Torah was simply an eschatological roadmap but was never intended to be the destination as Yeshua is the Destination concerning everything eschatological, redemptive, eternal (Matthew 5:17; John 5:39; John 5:46; Luke 24:44).
Torah Law is nothing new or novel but simply a fragmented codification of the “law of the Spirit of life” (Romans 8:2; Romans 2:14-15); Torah Law given specifically to Jacob’s children and sojourners seeking refuge in that theocracy; Torah Law, Elohim’s document of sanctification, instructions for a setting apart of Jacob’s children, etched in stone, scratched upon parchment via Moses in an effort to prevent a repeat, the catastrophic eschatological failures involving the Adamic and Noahic generations who had morally and ethically compromised with demonic paganism; defilement worthy of societal extinction by water save eight; two-generations of human kind having become sexually, morally, ethically, defiled to a point of complete impotency concerning Elohim’s eschatological plan relevant to the introduction of His Messiah.
Elohim’s eternal law,
Elohim’s eternal law, the “law of the Spirit of life” was infused within the human genome on Day-6 as human kind was uniquely created in the spiritual image of Elohim (Genesis 1:26-28) and thereby possesses certain divine communicable attributes of Elohim with the spiritual law being but one of those divine attributes; this, for eschatological purposes going forward; namely, the sustainability of human kind; the “law of the Spirit of life” given as a bulwark against societal implosion via unrestrained narcissism. Torah Law, introduced thousands of years later, was never intended as the destination but a roadmap to that destination; specifically, Yeshua.
The eternal law & the New Covenant,
Torah Law is not Elohim’s chosen arbiter of free will or covenant relationship but the “law of the Spirit of life” is the chosen divine legal – spiritual bulwark that differentiates Light from darkness, good from evil, life from death. The “law of the Spirit of life,” written upon the human heart at conception in the womb, is the law employed by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant (Ezekiel 36:26; Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 8:10) in combination with the redeemed conscience of the faithful in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17) to produce “fruits of righteousness” against which there is no law as the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit through the redeemed in Jesus by faith fulfills all law, all commandments, those etched in stone, scratched upon parchment, written upon the human heart; therefore, the “law of the Spirit of life” is eternally superior to the fragmented, incomplete, Torah Law as the “law of the Spirit of life” will endure throughout Eternity as free will exists in the New Jerusalem by necessity.
Finally,
The Christian does not pursue laws etched in stone or scratched upon parchment (Romans 7:6), the remnants of a bygone Covenant that defined sin but provided no form of atonement and lasting peace with Elohim (Romans 3:20); therefore, Christians walk daily in sanctification through obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit and “law of the Spirit of life” written upon their heart where their walk is pleasing to the Father through the production of righteous fruit which fosters intimacy and peace with the Father, eternally (Galatians 5:16; Romans 5:1).
