How Is The Old Testament Fulfilled?
Mat 5:17-20“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them
but to fulfill them…”
Fulfilled Does Not Mean Abolished
Christ did not invent a brand new law.
Teaching That The Law Of Christ Replaced The Law Of
Moses Is A Doctrine Of Demons
“Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My
statutes, and My laws” (Gen 26:4-5)
Requirements For Entrance Into God’s Government
1. God’s Law must be accomplished in us. 2. Our righteousness must exceed that of the Pharisees. 3. God’s Law must be fulfilled in us.
God’s Righteous Requirement
“God sent His Son… in order that
the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in
us” (Romans 8:4)
Ceremonial Laws* Circumcision is fulfilled in baptism.
* Passover is fulfilled in The Lord’s Supper.
* Pentecost was fulfilled when God put His law in our hearts.
* The Feast Of Tabernacles is fulfilled in the Great Commission.
* Unclean foods are made clean by Gentile conversion (Acts 10).
The Civil Laws
Fulfilled when the government of God
is established in the nations.
Moral Laws
Jesus was not contradicting Moses.
He was contradicting their interpretation of Moses.
“You Have Heard, But I Say”
You have heard… But I say… Mt 5:21-22You have heard …But I say… Mt 5:27-It was also said… But I say... Mt. 5:31-You have heard… But I say… Mt 5:33-34
You have heard… But I say… Mt 5:38-You have heard… But I say…Mt 5:43-44
The Oral Tradition of the Jews
The Talmud Revelation calls Jerusalem the Whore of
Babylon.
Danger!Don’t Let Doctrinal Systems
Trump Scripture
“I would sooner a hundred times over appear to be inconsistent with myself than to be
inconsistent with the word of God…” - Spurgeon
Inward Righteousness Must Exceed Outward Righteousness
The substance must exceed the symbol.The spirit of the law must fulfill the letter of
the law.
The Difference Is The Motive
Just looking for fire insurance is self-serving,
not God-serving.
A New Nature Is Required
God creates a new creature, a new motive, and a new heart
How Does God Do This?
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by God’s word.
He opens our understanding with the truth.
