Christ kept the Law of Moses, so....

I meant to show the Torah scripture "Because it is written"

Leviticus 20:7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.

Eph 2:15
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

Aren't the law of commandments contained in ordinances the ceremonial law?

I love your question and am starting a new post to discuss specifically "Commandments, Statutes, Ordinances, and Judgments...What's the Difference?"

Let's all dig in and see if there is clarity and wisdom in understanding.

if this is helpful. From the blueletterbible site.

if you type in the Hebrew word H number in the BLB word search box it brings up the page with the information for the word as well as all the verses it occurs in. This can be very helpful to see where the word first occurred and how it was translated and used in other verses.

I agree. I’m not under the law either but the law is of great value to me as well.


Can we discuss what we are under?


For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Romans 6:13


What we are under is grace.


Grace like truth, and wisdom and understanding are something as well as Someone.


Grace is the Holy Spirit; the Spirit of grace.


Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 10:28-29


Under the law means; under obligation to obey the law.

Likewise under grace means; under obligation to obey grace, the Spirit of grace.

IOW, to be led by the Spirit means we follow the Holy Spirit. If we follow someone, then we must be able to hear and obey the instructions of the one we are following.


Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:12-14


Notice our “debt” of obedience is not to the flesh, to obey the lustful cravings and desires of the flesh, but rather we are to “by the Spirit” put to death, to crucify the sinful deeds and works of the flesh.


I think you will agree.


Notice what grace teaches us —


For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, Titus 2:11


So, in the New Covenant, unlike the old, we are taught by the Spirit, and led by the Spirit, because we have been born of the Spirit, which is called the Spirit of grace as well as the Spirit of truth.



Those are some of my thoughts on being under grace.



There are laws and commandments involved in any Covenant. The unique thing about the New Covenant is the laws and commandments are written on our heart and mind.




JPT

The law of Moses that was added, was always temporary.

What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. Galatians 3:19


The law of Christ and the law of sin and death are not the law of Moses.


Remember that Abraham kept His laws and commandments 430 years before Moses gave the law.


And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.” Genesis 26:4-5

• because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.

Let’s keep the discussion open to new understanding and based solely in the scriptures.

No; the law is a unit. There aren't components as you imply. We see this in Galatians 3:10 and James 2:10:

Galatians 3:10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”

James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

“And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭40‬ ‭ESV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/59/mat.22.40.ESV

So to my understanding is the deeper question we ask ourselves .Are we Loving the Lord with all our heart, soul and mind? What does loving the Lord look like practically? How are we loving our neighbors? My understanding with these in our full view and intention and the full work of Christ s atonement of all our sins past present and future we are made righteous through Jesus and have obeyed the law as we abide in Christs finished work on the cross, and placing our hope in the resurrected life with Christ as our firm foundation. We can look to Jesus as the author and perfecter of our faith.

If you go back to the post I quoted the point being made was that the law was abolished. I believe Matt 5:17 says the law was fulfilled. How do you reconcile the verses given what you have shared?

Simple: attempting to be right with God means either trusting in Christ or following the law perfectly and completely. Since the latter is impossible, the only rational choice is trusting in Christ. That is consistent with the law being both "fulfilled" and "abolished".
