"Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law." - Romans 3:31 NKJV
Nay: but by the law of faith.”
Romans 3:27 KJV
“And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.”
Galatians 3:12 KJV
“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.
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.”
Galatians 3:19, 22-23 KJV
“And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

“Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
Mark 1:14-15 KJV
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
John 3:16-18 KJV
the law of Moses was a covenant made with Israel the specific nation. Moses was the intercessor and mediator. The Gospel is what Jesus Christ said and is for all people who believe
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
the gospel is the law that’s been established by Christ and his apostles the law of promise that came forth in him a promise made since the law has already been given to Israel
“Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.”
Isaiah 51:4-5 KJV
Our law is the one of faith that says this
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
not this
“Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.”
Exodus 31:15
that word is this
“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Romans 3:19-20 KJV
but we have the gospel law of the spirit
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 KJV
Freedom and truth everlasting life
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
…Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.”
John 8:31-32, 51 KJV
when he speaks of Moses words in the law it’s like this
“And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.”
Mark 10:3-5 KJV
and then tells them his word on the matter in the gospel which is as contrary as this from Moses law
“Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.”
Exodus 21:24-25 KJV
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”
Matthew 5:38-39 KJV
Man taking justice into his own hands under Moses law or leaving it to mercy in the gospel contrary are the principles of Moses and Christ
we want the law of faith that saves us from the laws condemnation of all sinners in all the world
“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Romans 3:19-23 KJV
the law made the last verse there known all have sinned
“what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.”
now no one can wear phylacteries and boast about thier works of the law , no one can be excluded from a temple to
Be in Gods presence by the “ holy “ people of the law , no one can be judged or condemned by others but Christ will judge us all.
a lot has changed for the better we don’t want to live under the law but want to acknowledge our sins and repent and be baptized for remission , born of the gospel doctrine we accept into our belief and live by
Christs word is our law and Christianity established it and the apostles preached it later either way it’s definately the law of Christ not moses
The commandments are simplified in Christ “ don’t harm each other “ it’s as simple as following the love Christ taught us ( not harming each other is a result )
“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
For this,
Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not kill,
Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Thou shalt not covet;
and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”
Romans 13:8-10 KJV
the gospel was sent into all the world to believe or nOt believe, while the law was given to Israel through Moses for the promised land of Israel the kingdom is about eternal Life for all nations who believe
“Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.”
Romans 3:29-31 KJV
We have the word of faith now
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
