Everyone, who is born again in Christ has become a new creation and has God’s nature. The will of God, which was hidden for the old creation, but was revealed by the law of Moses, is written upon the heart of the new man. This means that the new man doesn’t need the law of Moses to walk righteous in the will of God. The new man is the law unto himself. By the renewing of spirit, heart, and nature, the new man shall by nature obey the truth of God and walk after the Spirit in the will of God and establish the law (the moral part of the law). But if the law is written upon the heart of the new man, why do so many people, who call themselves Christians, keep sinning and keep doing and approving those things that diametrically oppose the will of God?
The law of Moses was a schoolmaster until the coming of Christ
Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one (Galaťanom 3:19)
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith (Galaťanom 3:23-24)
After the exodus of Egypt, God revealed Himself, His will, His righteousness, and His holiness to His people by giving the law to Moses, who was chosen by God as His representative and the leader of His people to lead them into the promised land (Oh. Exodus 3:1-4:17).
The law of Moses was a schoolmaster for everyone, who was born of the seed of Israel (Jacob), until the coming of the Messiah; Jesus the Christ, the Son of the living God. The law of Moses was meant for the old creation in whom the sinful nature reigns in the flesh.
The law of Moses revealed sin and iniquity was and diametrically opposed the will of the flesh and dealt with the sinful works of the flesh.
Through obedience to the law of Moses, God’s people differentiated themselves from the pagan nations (the Gentiles), who walked after the will, žiadostivosti, and desires of the flesh in pride, selfishness, lies, modlárstvo, witchcraft, smilstvo, adultery and uncleanness, and God’s people were guarded under the law.
But since the law diametrically opposed the will of the (sinful) flesh and there were people among the house of Israel, who loved their flesh above God, there were rebels among God’s people to whom the law was a hindrance and a stone of stumbling (Prečítajte si tiež: Why did God write His law on tables of stone? aIs Jesus a precious Cornerstone or a Stone of stumbling?).
They considered the law of Moses a heavy burden and refused to submit to God and keep His commandments, rituály, and ordinances.
Although they were all born of the seed of Jacob and through their natural birth and circumcision in the flesh belonged to the house of Israel and lived in His covenant, not all of them belonged to God and loved God with all their heart, duša, mind and strength and because of that, they were not saved and didn’t enter His rest and receive their inheritance.
Because of their murmuring and complaining and their unbelief, disobedience, and rebellion towards God, they died in the wilderness and never entered the promised land.
Jesus represented the will of the Father and fulfilled the law
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Whosoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whosoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery (Luke 16:16-18)
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 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 (Matúš 5:17-18)
God is holy and righteous and is no Respecter of persons and act according to His law; the law of the Spirit, which is righteous and good.
God sent His Son Jesus to the earth, who was His reflection and represented His will.
Jesus was born of the Seed of God and the Firstborn of the new creation and walked after the Spirit in the will of God (Prečítajte si tiež: Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the Firstborn of the new creation).
By His words, which derived from the Father, and His righteous walk in obedience to God, Jesus exposed the lies of the devil, who has successfully tempted man with his lies and usurped man from the beginning of creation, and Jesus testified of the evil works of the old man (the old creation).
Jesus exposed all things that were hidden in darkness, by His words, works, and walk, and because of that Jesus was not always loved by the people around Him, but Jesus was loved by the Father.
Because when the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus (and on other occasions), a voice came from Heaven saying, this is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased (Oh. Matúš 3:17; 12:18; 17:5, Marka 1:11; 9:7, Luke 3:22; 9:35, John 12:28)
The will of the Father was written upon the heart of Jesus
Jesus had totally surrendered His life to the Father and did nothing outside His will.
The will of the Father was written upon the heart of Jesus and guided Him. From a young age, Jesus was busy with the things of His Father and doing His will. By His walk, Jesus fulfilled the law and finished His redemptive work for fallen mankind on earth (Prečítajte si tiež: What peace did Jesus bring on earth?)
Jesus overcame the devil, hriech, and death
Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, took the place of fallen man. Jesus was crucified and carried all the sins of the world and took the penalty of sin, which is death upon Himself and entered Hades (hell, the kingdom of the dead), where Jesus stayed for three days and then rose as a Victor from the dead and triumphed over all principalities and powers (Prečítajte si tiež: What did Jesus do in hell?)
Through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus and His blood and His resurrection from the dead, Jesus dealt for once and for all with the sin problem and made a way for sinners to be made perfect, whole, and righteous and reconcile them with God.
Jesus didn’t come to destroy the law but to fulfill the law. And everyone, who is born of God and has become a son of God (this applies to both males and females) and has received God’s nature shall by faith establish the law (the moral part of the law, which represents the will of God (Oh. Rimanom 3:31)).
The promise of the New Covenant
Hľa, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which My covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;
After those days, saith the Lord, Svoj zákon vložím do ich vnútra, a napíšte im to do srdca; a bude ich Bohom, a oni budú mojím ľudom. A nebudú viac učiť každý svojho blížneho, a každý svojho brata, hovorí, Poznaj Pána: lebo všetci Ma budú poznať, od najmenšieho z nich až po najväčšieho z nich, saith the Lord: lebo im odpustím neprávosť, a na ich hriech si už nebudem pamätať. (Jeremiáš 31:31-34)
A dám im jedno srdce, a vložím do vás nového ducha; a vyberiem im kamenné srdce z mäsa, a dá im srdce z mäsa: aby chodili v mojich ustanoveniach, a dodržiavať moje nariadenia, a urobte ich: a oni budú mojím ľudom, a ja budem ich Bohom (Ezechiel 11:19-20)
Lebo ťa vezmem spomedzi pohanov, a zhromaždiť vás zo všetkých krajín, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, a urobte ich (Ezechiel 36:24-27)
For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrejci 10:14-17)
In the Old Covenant God gave the promise of a New Covenant (because the house of Israel and Juda had broken His Covenant), wherein by one offering He would perfect them, who would be sanctified (in Him), and put a new spirit, His Spirit within them and replace the heart of stone by a heart of flesh, so that they would walk in His statutes and keep His ordinances, His judgments, and they would be His people and He would be their God.
This promise of God was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost when about 120 disciples of Jesus were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2).
The old man had become the new man and was no longer carnal and didn’t possess a heart of stone, but had become spiritual and had received a new heart of flesh, upon which the laws of God (His will) were written and caused them to do the will of God and keep His commandments (Prečítajte si tiež: Why did God write His law on tablets of stone? And The commandments of God vs the commandments of Jesus).
The law is written upon the heart of the new man
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these having not the law, are the law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; v deň, keď Boh bude súdiť tajomstvá ľudí skrze Ježiša Krista podľa môjho evanjelia (Rimanom 2:14-16)
Spása prišla najskôr k domu Izraela a potom k pohanom. Pretože vierou v Ježiša Krista a znovuzrodením v Ňom, aj pohania mali schopnosť byť spasení a Jeho krvou získať odpustenie hriechov a byť vykúpení z vlády diabla a moci temnoty a byť preložení do Kráľovstva milovaného Božieho Syna, a zmieriť sa s Bohom a stať sa spoluúčastníkmi Jeho Tela; Cirkev a duchovné veci a spoluúčastníci Jeho zasľúbenia v Kristovi Ježišovi a žijú ako spoludedičia v jednote s Bohom v Novej zmluve (Oh. Rimanom 15:27, Efezanom 3:6-7, Kolosanov 1:12-23)
Skrze prebývanie Ducha Svätého, Boží zákon, ktorý predstavuje Jeho vôľu, is written upon the heart of the new man, and because of that the new shall walk by faith in obedience to the Word in the will of God.
The new man is the law unto himself
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus (Galaťanom 3:24-28)
By faith and regeneration in Christ, there is no difference anymore between the circumcised in the flesh; the people who are born of the seed of Israël and are God’s covenant people and live under the law of Moses, and the uncircumcised in the flesh; the Gentiles, who don’t belong to God’s covenant people and are not under the law.
Mojžišov zákon bol učiteľom pre deti Izraela až do príchodu Ježiša Krista, ktorý ich vykúpil zo zákona vierou a znovuzrodením v Neho.
Pohania sa nenarodili pod zákonom, ale keď sú pokrstení v Kristovi a oblečení do Krista a prijmú Ducha Svätého a stanú sa novým stvorením, budú automaticky plniť Božiu vôľu zo svojho nového srdca, Ducha, a prírodu a ustanoviť zákon. Oni sú zákonom sami pre seba, nie preto, že musia, ale preto, že chcú.
Pretože všetky, ktorí sú pokrstení v Kristovi, sú oblečení v Kristovi a stali sa novým stvorením a všetci sú jedno v Kristovi Ježišovi a patria do toho istého Tela a dostali toho istého Ducha Svätého, čím sú zákony napísané na ich srdciach a budú milovať Boha nadovšetko a kráčať v poslušnosti vôli Otca a zachovávať prikázania Ježiša a tešiť sa a ctiť Ho a oslavovať Otca.
Tie, ktorí odmietajú zákon, odmietnuť Ducha Svätého
Ak sú ľudia, ktorí hovoria, že veria a sú znovuzrodení, ale nezachovávajte Ježišove prikázania a nerobte to, čo hovorí, a nechodte podľa vôle Božej, ale hreš a ži v neprávosti voči Božiemu Slovu, potom Slovo svedčí, že nie sú novým stvorením a nepatria Bohu a že v nich neprebýva Duch Svätý, ale stále sú to staré stvorenie, who belongs to the ruler of the world and has the spirit of the world and live from their sinful, rebelantský, and prideful nature, since they compromise with the world approving sin and keep walking after the flesh doing the works of the flesh,
Their love for their flesh is bigger than their love for Jesus and because of that they don’t want to submit to Christ and are not willing to change.
Freedom in Christ doesn’t mean redemption from the will of God (the moral part of the law) and the commandments of Jesus, but freedom in Christ means redemption from the power of the devil and sin and death, which reign in the flesh.
Faith is not an addition to your old life and doesn’t revolve around going to church every week and following a set of laws, rules, rituály, hody, atď. which are imposed on man, but faith is your life through a personal encounter with Jesus Christ and the crucifixion of the flesh and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead in Christ and by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, whereby you shall live from your new nature (God’s nature), doing the will of God whereby you shall establish the law.
