Today at sundown is the Biblical feast of Shavuot/Pentecost. Jews celebrate receiving the Ten Commandments and Christians celebrate it as Pentecost. Both are the work of God. One is external and the other is internal. Do you remember this sermon topic, in the above title, warning us to take the ten commandments seriously?
Then we realized how hard it is to “keep the law.” Our problem is our own sinful rebellious nature. It is in our DNA. We really don’t want to keep the law of God. What if I told you that God planned a solution for our dilemma? The external commands were written on stone by the finger of Yehovah God, but the internal law is written on our hearts by the Holy Spirit of God. Both are from God. The Law was given to teach us about our inability to keep the law. It makes clear to us that we cannot make it without the Messiah. When God writes His law on our hearts we change from rebellious failure to actually desiring to follow Him. Our heart changes from obligation to alignment with His will. It makes all the difference. The Law is “our tutor that brings us to Christ/Messiah.”
“Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.”Galatians 3:21-24
“clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.“2 Corinthians 3:3
“For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness,”Romans 2:12-15
So, you see that we can keep the ten commandments by aligning our hearts with His Holy Spirit and believing in the Messiah.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
