“THE LAW OF THE LORD IS PERFECT,
CONVERTING THE SOUL.”
Psalm 19:7

“…WE CONCLUDE “DO WE THEN MAKE VOID
THAT A MAN IS JUSTIFIED BY THE LAW THROUGH FAITH?
FAITH APART FROM THE DEEDS CERTAINLY NOT! ON THE CONTRARY,
WE ESTABLISH THE LAW.” Rom. 3:31
OF THE LAW.” Rom. 3:28

Paul would not be an advocate of the popular
modern-day theory that God’s grace has delivered
the believer from the law. His point is rather that no
one can be saved by means of keeping the law.

“THIS IS THE COVENANT The New Covenant that Jesus mediates
THAT I WILL MAKE...” (Heb.8:6) contains not only

the grace of God, but also the law of God.

THE LAW 1. “...I WILL PUT MY LAWS IN How can one
THEIR MIND AND WRITE THEM espouse the
OF GOD ON THEIR HEARTS...” (vs.10) cherished saying,
“I have been delivered
THE GRACE 2. “...ALL SHALL KNOW ME, from the law”
FROM THE LEAST OF THEM When law simply means,
OF GOD TO THE GREATEST OF THEM.” “That which is right.”
Can the believer be delivered from
“ (vs.11) obedience to that which is right?
Paul’s answer was “Certainly not!”
3. ...I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR Old Testament Mosaic Law, Yes!
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THEIR New Testament law, Never!
SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS
I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.”
(vs.12)
8:10-12
Hebrews

On the next two pages we shall briefly consider (“TORAH” – INSTRUCTION)
two types of “law” that still exist for New (LAW – “THAT WHICH IS RIGHT”)
Testament believers. They are God’s laws that
are“statutes” and His laws that are CCOONNSSEEQQUUEENNTTIIAALL LLAAWW TTHHAATT GGOOVVEERRNNSS--CCOOMMMMAANNDDSS
“commandments.” Both have to do with King
Jesus, “our lawgiver” who is king of the present (CORPORATE LAWS (INDIVIDUAL LAWS
manifestation of the Kingdom of God, the one DESIGNED TO GOVERN DESIGNED TO GOVERN THE
that abides in the heart of every born-again THE KINGDOM OF GOD) SUBJECTS OF THE KINGDOM)
believer.

As stated earlier, these are not God’s
suggestions. These are absolutes. Believers
who ignore God’s law as a lifestyle risk being
removed from the Kingdom of God at the end of
the age (Mat. 13:41-43, Mat. 7:21-23).
