When I was growing up in mid-20th century America, the ten commandments were the standard of morality for Christians. My Southern Baptist grandmother often asked me to mow her lawn (about an acre). But she would never allow me to do it on Sunday.
Lately, I'm hearing more and more about a doctrine which states that the ten commandments were nailed to the cross and that the Holy Spirit has replaced them. I recently asked my very aged father about this and he said that he'd never even heard of such a thing.
What happened?
Christ is the '""" END OF THE LAW for everyone one that Believes..""""
So, its like this..
God found fault with the 1st Covenant, the Old Testament. Why? Because the Commandments and the Law can't give you any righteousness, and they can't remove "sin consciousness".. They can't resolve your sin issue.
So, God created a "New Testament", and a "New Covenant" that removes the dominion of the law from you, and puts you "under Grace", which deals with your sin issue.
What is Grace?
Its the mercy of God that allows you to become righteous based on the blood of Jesus. = "the GIFT of righteousness".
So then what about the 10 commandments and the 2 that Jesus gave....
They are our moral boundary. They show us where the LINE IS DRAWN. They give us a glimpse of the holiness of God.
What can commandment keeping
not do for you? = It can't save you.
Hell is filled with commandment keepers.
Hell is filled with people who tried to live a "moral life based on the bible".
Jesus said : "you MUST be BORN AGAIN".
