There is no contradiction in my words. I obey the NC law written in my heart through the Spirit. There was no indwelling Holy Spirit under the OC. They tried to keep the law in their flesh. As a NC believer, I have the indwelling Holy Spirit which makes obeying the law possible. I am not obsessed with keeping the law. I am obsessed with doing the will of my Father which includes obeying His commandments, statutes and judgments.
Every covenant is a bond between two parties. The NC is a bond in blood between YHWH and those who enter it through receiving Yeshua and the blood of the NC. If one does not choose to receive Yeshua as Lord and Savior, the bond is not made. The "bond of the covenant" is the NC because Jeremiah 31 tells us that is the covenant they will be under in the future. Ezekiel 36 tells us how the covenant of Jeremiah 31 will be administered which is the same for those under the NC today (cleansing from sin, new heart, indwelling Spirit).
The SOTM is not different from the Mosaic Law. It is a magnification of that law (Isaiah 42:21). Matthew 5:21-22 does NOT do away with the command to not kill/murder. It magnifies it to include unrighteous anger. Matthew 5:27-28 does NOT do away with the command to not commit adultery. It magnifies it to include the lust of the heart.
What!!?? You won't even obey the SOTM?? Most Christians teach the SOTM is included in the new "Law of Christ".
As John Gill writes concerning Ezekiel 20:40; "meaning the offering up of their persons: bodies, and souls, as a living, holy, and acceptable sacrifice, which he would require of them as their reasonable service; together with all holy duties of prayer, praise, and beneficence; sacrifices with which God is well pleased through Christ and his sacrifice;
1 Corinthians 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
The "law of the Spirit" is YHWH's law given through Moses and administered through the Spirit as opposed to the flesh.
Yes, the wife will be treated differently, but all will abide by the same laws.
