Question 26 - Did Lord Jesus destroy the law or fulfill?

Matthew 5:17-19 NKJV - "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. ”Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven”

Romans 7:4 NKJV - Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another--to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

Ephesians 2:15 NKJV - having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace..

John 10:8 NKJV - "All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them."

Answer:

                The worldly Governments follow the Covenant without differentiation of religion, cast, country, and race till today. Thereafter, it will be followed continuously until the end of the world.

                Honor your father and your mother, you shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not covet you neighbor’s house, etc., all rules follow in every country.

                Just as it is written in the books of children or on the walls of the schools, the children by remember by heart that you must utter only truth, you shall not steal, honor you father and your mother, etc. Not only these things, the Lord Jesus said, “You must show complete sacrificing love”.  Thus, the one who shows the complete sacrificing love openly is considered as the dead one in the matter of the rules of covenant. How?

The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 5:38-40 “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”.  Even though the one, who has sacrificing love, suffered by any one, does not revenge again by torturing him according to the law of covenant. He considers himself as the dead one according to the covenant. In the matter of wicked, he shows love instead of hatred.  Whoever slaps you on your cheek right cheek, turn the other to him also. So, the rules of the covenant became dead regarding in this kind of complete persons and became useless. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself suffered the punishment, which is given to the sinner according to the covenant, on Him with His divine love. So, we will be redeemed.

                Likewise, prisoner’s punishment is reduced based on his good behavior by the Government and will be released.

                The one, who has the sacrificing love, cannot harm the neighbor, will not say the false witness and he will take care of his parents with love. So, as in Ephesians 2:5, the Lord Christ united the wicked one by changing their mind with the Lord the Father. So, Romans 13:8-10, he who loves another has fulfilled the law……. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law”.
