A "Law" is something that God says that we are not to do; a "Statute" and an "Ordinance" is something that God says that we are to do. And a "Statute" is more grave than an "ordinance." Laws are committed, but Statutes and Ordinances are violated. You committed murder (by killing), but you violated the Passover (by not keeping it), etc. The exception to this (in wording only) would in the 4th and 5th Commandments (Keep the Sabbath Day holy & Honor mother and father), but this is in wording only; for, to dishonor mother and father is TO NOT honor them, and to NOT keep the Sabbath Day holy is to not do the commandment to keep it holy "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. ...thou shalt not do any work...." (Ex 20:8-10a). So that it could be taken as 'though shalt not dishonor mother and father' ....What did Jesus Christ fulfill?Matthew 5:17 [Jesus speaking]17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. KJV With the Advent of Messiah Jesus Christ several things were changed (fulfilled, better stated). First and most importantly, Christ became the punishment-paid for the sins of the believers. because of Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross for our sins, we are not guilty of sin that we have repent of in Jesus Christ's name. Not that God put away His law and allowed sin now—God forbid! But rather, it is mainly this: A sin is still a sin, and "For the wages of sin is death" (Rom 6:23a) is still in full force, and all who sin shall face the Judgment; however, those (and only those) who believe upon Jesus Christ AND repent of their individual sins to God in Jesus' name receive forgiveness because Jesus already paid the price of death for that sin. So, for the Christian believer who repents of any certain sin, that sin is blotted out—it is not to be found on the books on Judgment Day—it has already been adjudicated (settled). We sin, and Jesus took the punishment—IF, and ONLY if—we believe upon Jesus Christ. For, how can we lay the punishment at the feet of Christ if we do not even believe upon Him? We cannot. One must believe to take part of the promise and blessing. Belief is so very important to God—we must have faith. Why? Because: "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Heb 11:6).Romans 6:2323 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. KJV1 John 2:12:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: KJV1 Timothy 1:1414 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. KJVRomans 6:1-66:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. KJV That is the exact and most fundamental reason why it is a terrible and misleading thing for these new-age churches nowadays to say that "All religions lead to the same God," and that "there are many different paths to God." These egalitarian and ecumenical churches are telling untruths, wittingly or unwittingly; and thereby endangering the souls of the unsaved who might have search Christianity deeper had they been told boldly, plainly, and unapologetically that without Jesus Christ no man shall see paradise. For, "...all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Rom 3:23), and "...the wages of sin is death" (Rom 6:23).2 Corinthians 5:17-2117 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath [through Jesus Christ] committed unto us the word of reconciliation [forgiveness] .20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.21 For he [God] hath made him [Jesus] to be sin [the sin-punishment] for us [Christians], [Jesus] who knew [committed] no sin; that we [Christians] might be made the righteousness [forgiven-blamelessness] of God in [through] him [Christ Jesus]. KJV Christ also became the Passover.1 Corinthians 5:77 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: KJV Also, through Christ Jesus the Gentiles (non-Israelites) could also be adopted into the eternal covenant that was reserved for Israel. That is why the New Testament Scripture says:Galatians 3:2828 There is neither Jew [Israelite] nor Greek [Gentile], there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. KJV Also, regarding this above Scripture, since Jesus Christ, circumcision is no longer of the "male member," but symbolically of the heart—thus opening the doors to self-determination for women in salvation matters. Before Christ, the women were saved/lost by their husband's (or before marriage, by her father's) house. A woman could never enter the Holy place in the Temple, and she could not offer sin-offerings to God for herself or her family. The man did all that, and it was his place, not hers. Likewise, a "common man" could never enter the Holy of Holies (the innermost room of the Temple which contained the Ark of the Covenant and the very presence of God), lest he died! Not even the priests could enter this Holy of Holies inner sanctum of the Temple; but only the high priest could enter therein, and only once per year at that—lest he died! This is no longer the case. Another "thing" that changed with Christ (and which many churches might not want you to know, is that since Jesus Christ we can all have access to God directly. Before Christ, and evidenced by the rending 0tearing-down) of the curtain in the Temple's Holy of Holies at Christ's precise moment of death, is that now no longer do we need a priest to petition God for us, we no longer need a priest to deliver our (sin) offerings to God. Now, since Christ, all of us whom simply believe upon Jesus Christ may speak directly to God one-on-one.Study by Nick Goggin
