Jesus Kept the Moral Law Perfectly.

Rom 3:22  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 

Rom 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 

Rom 3:24  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 

Rom 3:25  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God

Rom 3:26  To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 

Rom 3:27  Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 

Rom 3:28  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 

Rom 3:29  Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 

Rom 3:30  Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 

Rom 3:31  Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. 

The law of faith.

Justified by faith not the law.

The moral law doesn't justify us.

The moral law didn't justify Eve or Adam.  They had the moral law in their hearts upon their creation. They had no need for justification because they were created just. They were one with God the Father, one with God the Son, one with God the Holy Spirit. The moral law is simply living one with God loving Him and loving mankind. People want to rip apart the moral laws to suit their perversions of truth. The law, as was mentioned already, does not justify us. We can keep the moral law- love God and love our fellowman, but that never clears away any sin we've already committed. Keeping the moral law doesn't make us forgiven. After Eve and Adam decided to no longer live under the moral law, putting themselves before God, desiring to be a God in their own right with the knowledge of a god- when they decided this they sinned and in sinning they needed redemption, salvation, forgiveness and no law could give them that.

Years later when the moral law was written down and ceremonial laws were given as an example of the people's need for forgiveness for their continued sinning, their continued separating themselves from God, people began to believe wrongly that they were justified by the law. They would do this, that, and the other law and as long as they did they were justified. Remember this…

Mar 10:17  And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 

Mar 10:18  And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 

Mar 10:19  Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 

Mar 10:20  And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 

Mar 10:21  Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 

Mar 10:22  And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 

Having kept all the moral law from his youth, the man asking Jesus what he had to do to inherit eternal life wasn’t justified by doing so. The man lacked something. The man lacked the real desire to truly love God and put Him first.  The man was keeping the letter of the law, but not the heart of the law.

The law does NOT save us by itself.

Rom 3:31  Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. 

But we cannot make VOID the law through our faith. We can't ignore the moral law because we have faith. Jesus lived the law perfectly- this is what not sinning means. Faith in the One, the only One who could keep the moral law wholly. And through our Savior, we can keep the moral law, the HEART and LETTER of the law as was intended from creation.  Remember, the law will be written on our hearts and in our minds.

Please, Father God, please we would have Your law written on our hearts and minds! We would be Yours! All through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, now and forever!!!!!!!
