Matthew 5: 19<\/a>:\u2026But whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be<\/p>\ncalled great in the kingdom of heaven.<\/p>\n
Only the believer understands how holy, just and good the law of God is;<\/p>\n
only the believer establishes the law through faith in Christ; only the<\/p>\n
believer has a God-wrought desire to honor the law in all areas of his<\/p>\n
life. God\u2019s true ambassadors are the only ones who truly teach others<\/p>\n
the necessity of perfect obedience which no sinner can do which required<\/p>\n
God\u2019s Son living and dying as the Representative and Substitute of those<\/p>\n
given him before the foundation of the world.<\/p>\n
When God gave the law to Moses, God knew when he said \u201cthis do and live\u201d<\/p>\n
that not a sinner in time would ever do his law. But God was not unjust<\/p>\n
in saying it. The weakness was in us, not in the law. So it is in this<\/p>\n
verse when our Lord says, \u201cwhosoever shall do and teach shall be called<\/p>\n
great in the kingdom of heaven.\u201d It is not that there is a sinner, who<\/p>\n
himself, can do the law. But we \u201cdo the law\u201d by trusting Christ who did<\/p>\n
it for us. We teach by declaring to others the demands of holy law, that<\/p>\n
others might trust Christ as well. When the Spirit of God makes a sinner<\/p>\n
to behold the spirituality of the law, that it condemns even the<\/p>\n
thoughts and intents of the heart, that it must be upheld in absolute<\/p>\n
perfection, then the sinner is brought to cast all their care on Christ.<\/p>\n
This is what we do and what we teach.<\/p>\n
We teach that by faith in Christ the believer is dead to the law and<\/p>\n
married to Christ. The believer walks in newness of life under the law<\/p>\n
of, the rule of, Christ, not the oldness of the letter of the law of<\/p>\n
Moses. The law is not dead our old carnal man is dead. In our new<\/p>\n
resurrected nature we are married\u2013ONE\u2013with Christ. Therefore the fruit<\/p>\n
we bring forth is of Christ\u2019s production. Through the Spirit of God in<\/p>\n
us, through the doing and dying of our Savior, the righteousness of the<\/p>\n
law is fulfilled in us and all our works are accepted of God.<\/p>\n
Therefore, believers no longer use the law of Moses to bind, drive or<\/p>\n
motivate but now use the law for the purpose in which Christ gave it, to<\/p>\n
give the knowledge of sin to those who think they have acceptance with<\/p>\n
God by their works of law-obedience<\/p>\n
