I heard a sermon today that shifted my paradigm about the 10 Commandments and the Law. Charles Price spoke on Matt. 5:17-20 and how Christ fulfilled the law. He said that in the Old Testament the 10 Commandments were...commandments. But when Christ came to fulfill the law - the 10 Commandments became a promise!! Isn't that awesome? Because Christ could do what we could not do - the fulfillment of those commands became a promise. So instead of it being: YOU SHALL NOT (for example) bear false witness - it became You shall NOT bear false witness. We just won't - because Christ has done it for us. And these promises are now written on our hearts where the Spirit lives. What hope! Oh - and doesn't this make Christian liberty make more sense? We have the freedom to fulfill these promises.
