The Point of The Law
What is the point of the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law)?
The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) did not come to change the Law of Truth in any fashion (Matthew 5:17-18). In fact, the position that the Children of Truth will have in his kingdom is determine by the degree that they taught others to keep the commandments of the Law of Truth (Matthew 5:19). The Renewed Covenant is the Law of Truth being written on the hearts of the Children of Truth (Hebrews 10:15-17). The very definition of sin is transgression of the Law of Truth (1 John 3:4). The Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) is the Spirit of the Law and cannot be opposed to the Law of Truth.
Yet, many of sets of commandments in the Law of Truth are specifically stated as only being in effect for those in the land of Israel, like the commandments concerning the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Exodus 13:5-7). Other sets of commandments are specifically stated as only being in effect for those able to be in Jerusalem to carry them out, like killing of the Passover lamb (Deuteronomy 16:6-8). Other sets of commandments are specifically stated as only being in effect when the Temple is standing, like the Priests and Levites performing their duties there (Deuteronomy 17:8-10). This why the observance of Passover is not required of the Children of Truth today.
Some sets of commandments sets of commandments in the Law of Truth are specifically stated as only being in effect for certain people, like circumcision was not required of men of other ethnic groups who lived among the descendants of Israel (Exodus 12:47-49). It is for this reason, that the Spirit of Truth was poured out on the Gentiles, even though they had not been circumcised (Acts 11:3-16).
So, even though the Law of Truth is relevant today, not every commandment of the Law of Truth is in effect today. More than four hundred of the commandments of the Torah, concern the Levites, the Priests, and the services of the Temple. It should be evident that these commandments cannot be in effect today, when there is no Temple. In particular, neither every aspect of the Sabbath, nor the Feasts of Truth can be observed in the way prescribed in the Law of Truth, since their observance revolves around sacrifices made by the Priests in the Temple. Even when the Children of Truth do their best to observe the Feasts of Truth, they are still playing with broken toys.
However, some commandments in the Law of Truth are in effect for all people, in all lands, at all times. These righteous commandments that were written in the Law of Truth, are the commandments of the the unchanging law, that existed before the Law of Truth was ever given to Moses. The Renewed Covenant makes it very clear, that these righteous commandments of the Law of Truth are relevant to the Children of Truth today.
So, even though the Law of Truth is relevant today, the Renewed Covenant also makes it clear that no one can be made righteous by keeping the Law of Truth (Romans 3:19-20). It says, that while the Law of Truth is righteous, that our the nature of our flesh is not righteous (Romans 7:16-18). It says, while we want to do what the Law of Truth says is right, our flesh prevents us from doing so (Romans 7:25). It says, that the Law of Truth cannot make us righteous, because our flesh makes it impossible to keep the Law of Truth enough to be righteous (Romans 8:3). It says, that we must keep the Law of Truth perfectly, every day of our entire life, for it to make us righteous (Romans 10:5). It says, that keeping the Law of Truth cannot make anyone righteous, because no one has kept the Law of Truth perfectly, every day of their entire life (Galatians 2:15-17). It says, that if people had been able to be righteous by keeping the Law of Truth perfectly, every day of their life, then there would have been no need for the Man of Truth to die for their disobedience to the Law of Truth (Galatians 2:21). It says, that everyone who seeks to be justified by keeping the Law of Truth, is under the curse of the Law of Truth, because they have not kept the Law of Truth perfectly, every day of their life (Galatians 3:10-12).
So, if the Law of Truth is relevant today, at least the commandments that can be kept today, but no one can be saved by keeping those commandments, then what is the point of the Law of Truth?
The Law of Truth shows us what sin look like.
The Law of Truth defines sin for us (Romans 3:20). The commandments of the Law of Truth define which things are sinful (Romans 7:7). These commandments tell us how terrible sin really is (Romans 7:13). The Law of Truth was made to bring judgment upon sinners (1 Timothy 1:9-10).
The Law of Truth shows us what holiness looks like.
The Law of Truth is holy and every commandment of it is holy, just, and good (Romans 7:12). The Law of Truth is good, if used as intended (1 Timothy 1:8).
The Law of Truth shows us our true condition.
The problem has never been the Law of Truth but us (Romans 7:14-16). We are born with a sin nature in our flesh that is contrary to the Law of Truth (Romans 7:17-18). We cannot rid ourselves of this sin nature (Romans 7:19-20). We cannot obey the Law of Truth in our natural condition, no matter how bad we want to (Romans 7:21-23). The Law of Truth shows us that we have been sinners since birth, because we have all broken some commandments of the Law of Truth (James 2:9-11).
The Law of Truth shows us that we need to be saved from our sin nature.
Our inability to obey the Law of Truth would leave us miserable, if the Father of Truth had not sent the Man of Truth to deliver us from our sin nature (Romans 7:24-25). The Man of Truth has given us the Spirit of Truth so we could delivered from our sin nature (Romans 8:1-3). We can only overcome the sin nature of our flesh by letting the Spirit of Truth control our actions (Romans 8:4-6). The only way to be saved from our sin nature is give control of our actions over to the Spirit of Truth (Romans 8:7-9). If we will give control of actions to the Spirit of Truth, then we will overcome the sin nature born in our flesh (Romans 8:10-13). If we come into the House of Truth, then we will give control of actions over to the Spirit of Truth (Romans 8:14-16).
So the point of the Law of Truth is that we must come into the House of Truth!
The point of the Law of Truth is that we can only do what it says is right through faith in the Man of Truth (Romans 10:4). The Man of Truth gives the ability to stop transgressing the Law of Truth when we come into the House of Truth (Galatians 2:16-17). The Law of Truth was given, so we could see our inabiltity to do what it says is right, without faith in the promised Messiah (Galatians 3:19-22). We no longer need the Law of Truth to bring us to faith in the Man of Truth, after we come into the House of Truth (Galatians 3:23-25).
When you come into the House of Truth, you will fulfill the desires of the flesh that are contrary to the Law of Truth, because the Spirit of Truth will lead you to fulfill the commandments of the Law of Truth (Galatians 5:16-18). The commandments of the Law of Truth will be written on your heart instead of tablets of stone, so you can obey them from the heart (Hebrews 8:9-11).
The Law of Truth has fulfilled it purpose, when you come into the House of Truth by surrendering control of your life to the Man of Truth, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).
