Not Abolished But Fulfilled: The Law in the Life of the Christian

Rockport Baptist Church

Because Christ has fulfilled the old covenant Law, but not destroyed it, we must receive it as fulfilled Scripture and listening to Christ, our covenant Lord who tells us how it applies to our lives in the new covenant. I. How Should We View the Old Covenant Law in Light of the Coming of Christ? Mt 5:17 (1) The Old Covenant has been abolished by the coming of Christ Heb 8:13; Gal 3:23-25 (2) The Old Covenant Law has not been abolished, but is fulled in Christ Mt 5:17 II. The Old Covenant Law is Relevant to our lives, but only in and through Christ! (1) In the New Covenant our eyes are not set on the Covenant of Law, but on Christ Himself! (2) No part of God's word is to be disregarded, all is to be understood and applied through Christ
