THE LAW OF LOVE
Background Reading: Mark 12:28-33
In this current Church Age, also called “the Age of Grace,” the
need for the ceremonial law and the offering of blood sacrifices has
ceased.
Indeed Jesus came once and for all to fulfill the law of
sacrifice.
This in turn allowed God’s grace, in full measure, to
become available to all who call on the Name of the Lord and yield
to the Holy Spirit.
ROMANS 3:20 Therefore by the deeds (works) of the
Law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by
the (Mosaic) Law is (only) the knowledge of sin.
ROMANS 3:21 But now the righteousness of God
without (apart from) the (Mosaic) Law is manifested,
being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets (the
principle of justification by faith - Genesis 15:6;
Habakkuk 2:4);
ROMANS 3:22 Even the righteousness of God (imputed
righteousness) which is (comes) by faith of (in) Jesus
Christ unto all and upon all them who believe (and trust
in Him) . . .
As we know, obedience to the commandments of God is not the
means by which we are saved.
Once we are regenerated, however,
we are expected to conform to the righteous requirements of God’s
Laws (commandments), not by law (through willpower) but by His
power at work in us.
This is because we now have, in Christ, a new
Nature which can give us not only the desire as we yield to the Spirit,
but also the power to do that which God wills in our lives.
However
we must yield willingly to the Holy Spirit so that the graces and
energies of the Divine Nature can energize our hearts and minds - as
we focus on God’s Word and will.
And this focus is important in
order to gain the necessary direction and then the necessary
empowerment.
