For it is not the hearers of the Law who are righteous before Elohim, but the doers of the Law who will be justified. [Romans 2:13]
Whenever I hear false shepherds or misguided sheep say "Jesus did away with the Law", I wonder if they ever read Scripture.
Jeremiah tells us that the purpose of the New Covenant is to put Elohim's Law in the heart; that we may KEEP IT out of love, honor and obedience to Him. (Chap. 31)
Messiah himself tells us that the Law won't pass away until Heaven and earth do. (Matthew 5:18)
And in the Romans Scripture quoted above, Paul, an apostle of Messiah, is telling believers to keep the Law.
That makes no sense if the Law has been abolished.
It seems crystal-clear: keeping
is essential if one is seeking to please Elohim.
I pray for all believers to come to a knowledge of the truth and unity in the faith.
Shalom
