    The Key To Righteous Living

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 15, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,454 views

    Jesus came not to destroy the law, but to keep and fulfill it. We also are required to be obedient to the law - not indeed as a means of salvation (which it could never be) - but as an expression of our love and service.

Jesus’ statement is emphatic:- “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill” (Matthew 5:17). The righteousness of God is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the end of the law, the one to whom ...read more
