Law of Moses

 

Law of Moses

 

I was speaking with someone regarding the law of tithing asking him for his opinion on the subject and he made an interesting comment. He asked me if I was living under the law? I asked what law? He replied the Law of Moses? I indicated I was not. He indicated that the law of tithing was instituted under Levitical law or the Law of Moses and as a result of the new covenant we are no longer subjects or servants to the Law of Moses.

 

Matthew 5:17 – Do you think that I have come to abolish the Law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Matthew 5:18 – Will by any means disappear from the law until everything is accomplished. Matthew 7:12 – So in everything do to others what you would have them do to you for this sums up the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:40 – All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments – love God, love neighbor. John 1:17 – For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth come through Jesus Christ. Romans 6:4 – For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under the law, but under Grace. Romans 7:6 – But now by dying to what once bound us we have been released from the law so that we serve in a new way of the spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. Romans 8:3 – For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own son in the likeness of the sinful man to be a sin offering. Romans 10:4 – Christ is the end of the law so that there might be righteousness for everyone who believes.
