I hope the title didn’t have anyone thinking I am so well versed in the Law this article is for someone else. I would encourage you to spend a few minutes and read through it and see if there is anything new for you to contemplate on. I will share with you that I learned something new myself in my research. I shared that I have been talking with two guys I work with who give messages at a Sunday keeping church and I shared this with them and thought it was worthy of sharing with everyone who reads it. What is the main conscience of most ministers and so-called theologians? Most believe the law of God is done away with. But is that true? What does God’s Living Word share with us on His law?
First, let it be known that no one can obtain salvation by keeping the “Law.” {Unless they do so perfectly}. Nevertheless, the conclusion is that God’s “Law” or Torah has not been abolished. The Messiah plainly says so.
What should the duty of mankind be?
Ecclesiastes 12:.13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Let’s start in Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. What is so hard about the passage? Seems pretty straight forward as to what it says. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Luke 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; From Genesis a thread runs all the way through Scripture to the book of Revelation and it says the same thing, or the Word of God is no better than any other religious book out there.
This may sound a little sarcastic, but do not take it that way; Next time you walk outside, look down and you’ll see the earth, and then look up, you’ll see the heavens. Does this say anything to anyone? This is just one way you can know that God’s “Law” is still in effect. As the above Scriptures tell us this.
In the New Testament Strongs #3551 for Law is nomos, and the Hebrew Word Torah in the Old Testament Is Strong’s #8451, Torah is derived from the Hebrew root word yarah, which means “properly to flow as water {that is, to rain} to lay or throw {especially an arrow, that is, to shoot} to point out, to teach,archer,cast, direct, inform, instruct, lay, shew, shoot, teach” Strong’s Hebrew # 3384.
We even in the church limit the Torah to just {LAW}, but it also means teaching or instructions. It is God’s instruction for how He wants His people to live and has little to do with the western view of secular law.
I want to focus on the root word of Torah strong’s #3384 yarah. Notice the part of the definition that states, “to flow as water. Have you ever looked at God’s law as pertaining to flowing water? Are we damned or backed up and have become stale from lack of activity? We as brothers and sisters in Christ are commanded to come to the fountain of living waters, and the waters should be active within us showing a sinful world living in darkness the light of Christ.
Jeremiah 2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Jeremiah 17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
Here we see God is called “the spring of living water.”
Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. We all have to ask ourselves do we have rivers of living water flowing from us? 39 (But this spoke of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.
In both of these verses, the word water was translated from the Greek word hundatos meaning “water {as if rainy} literally or figuratively.” Do you remember Torah is derived from the Hebrew root word Yarah, which means; Properly to flow as water {that is, to rain}.
Proverbs 13:14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
With the concepts of the Messiah being God’s way, truth, life, Word and washing us with the water that will make us never thirst, it would appear that the Messiah is the Torah.
The Father does not want us to superficially obey His commandments, but He wants us to embrace them into our hearts and minds. He wants us to obey out of love and respect, just as a child who obeys his/her parents for the same reason.
As we close this article, the culmination of the fountain of life is in the following Scriptures. Don’t take this water for granted, if your walk with Christ is filling sluggish and unfulfilled, go to Him and ask for that LIVING WATER to cleanse you and bring the river of life flowing from within you again.
Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
It is my hope that this short article on the law of God will not diminish the work of the Messiah in anyone’s eyes but rather will ultimately lead to a more fulfilling relationship with the one true God.
Brethren, stay thirsty for that pure water proceeding out from the throne of God. Don’t become stale and unusable with contaminated water.
Your brother in Christ,
Ron
