There are four main laws in the Bible:
【Adam's Law】-You shall not eat
The Lord God commanded him, "You may freely eat of any tree of the garden, but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day you eat of it you will surely die." --Genesis 2 16- Section 17
[The Law of Moses] - Laws that expressly stipulate that the Jews abide by
God promulgated the law on Mount Sinai and gave it to the nation of Israel. The law on earth is also called the Law of Moses. Including the Ten Commandments, laws, regulations, tabernacle system, sacrificial regulations, festivals, moon sculptures, Sabbaths, years... and so on. There are 613 entries in total! --Refer to Exodus 20:1-17, Leviticus, Deuteronomy.
【My own law】-The law of the Gentiles
If the Gentiles who do not have the law do the things of the law according to their nature, even though they do not have the law, You are your own law . This shows that the function of the law is engraved in their hearts, and their sense of right and wrong bears witness. , and their thoughts compete with each other, either right or wrong. ) on the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel. --Romans 2:14-16. (It can be seen that the concepts of good and evil are engraved in the minds of the Gentiles, that is, the law of Adam is regarded as right or wrong. Conscience accuses everyone of the good and evil, good and bad, which are engraved in the conscience of the Gentiles. )
【Law of Christ】-The law of Christ is love?
Bear each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. --Additional chapter 6 verse 2
Because the whole law is wrapped up in this sentence, "Love your neighbor as yourself." --Additional chapter 5 verse 14
God loves us, and we know and believe it. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. --1 John 4:16
(Note: The law of Adam - the law of Moses - the law of conscience, that is, the law of the Gentiles, is a law that belongs to the fleshly regulations on earth; while the law of Christ is a spiritual law in heaven, and the law of Christ is love! To love your neighbor as yourself exceeds all laws on earth. )
[Purpose of establishing laws] ?-Reveal God’s holiness, justice, love, mercy and grace!
【Function of Law】
(1) Convict people of sin
Therefore, no flesh can be justified before God by the works of the law, because the law convicts people of sin. -- Romans 3:20
(2) Make transgressions multiply
The law was added so that transgressions might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more. --Romans 5:20
(3) Confining everyone in sin and guarding them
But the Bible has imprisoned all men in sin... Before the doctrine of salvation by faith came, we were kept under the law until the revelation of the faith in the future. --Additional chapter 3 verses 22-23
(4) stop everyone's mouth
We know that everything in the law is addressed to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be brought under the judgment of God. --Romans 3:19
(5) Keep everyone in disobedience
You once disobeyed God, but now you have received mercy because of their disobedience. …For God has put all men under disobedience in order that he may have mercy on them all. --Romans 11:30,32
(6) The law is our teacher
In this way, the law is our tutor, leading us to Christ so that we can be justified by faith. But now that the principle of salvation by faith has come, we are no longer under the Master’s hand. --Additional chapter 3 verses 24-25
(7) that the promised blessings may be given to those who believe
But the Bible imprisons all men in sin, so that the promised blessings through faith in Jesus Christ may be given to those who believe. --Galat chapter 3 verse 22
In Him you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, when you also believed in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. This Holy Spirit is the pledge (original text: inheritance) of our inheritance until God’s people (original text: inheritance) are redeemed to the praise of His glory. --Refer to Ephesians 1:13-14 and John 3:16.
