The Bible's Teaching on the Bible

All week we’ve been thinking about scripture and the place of the teachings that is the body of the Law. Today, we’re going to let some Scripture flow over us. This is not a time to analyze (although that’s not a bad thing!) but to allow God’s Word about God’s Word speak to us. Sit with these scriptures for a moment. What is standing out to you, speaking to you, dis-comforting you, encouraging you?

The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless. Hebrews 7:18

For the Law made nothing perfect and a better hope is introduced… Hebrews 7:19

Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant. Hebrews 7:22

By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear. Hebrews 8:13

The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the realities themselves. Hebrews 10:1

You are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:14

You also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another. Romans 7:4

we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. Romans 7:6

Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. Romans 10:4

I died to the law so that I might live for God. Galatians 2:19

Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? Gal 3:2

Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? Galatians 3:5

The law is not based on faith Galatians 3:12

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Galatians 5:18

The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:6

He set aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations Ephesians 2:15

As for righteousness based on the Law, faultless… I consider them skubala (manure/bullshit) that I might gain Christ and be found in him. Philippians 3:6-9
