I am very defensive of God's law. Not because I am Jewish or Gentile or anything other than me.
It is hard to talk and find the correct words of what I understand not being "under" the law means.
Jesus shows us in many places that while he was born "under" the law, the law had no power "over" him.
Jhn 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Jhn 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying,
For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
So Jesus "enlightens them" according to the law:
Jhn 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Jhn 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Jhn 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Jhn 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
Jhn 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father
is in me, and I in him.
Jesus not only "kept" the law, he was "above" the law, in that it was God who created the law in the first place.
In the first place..
Even though he kept the law, and cited their own laws against them, they still saught to kill him.
Jhn 10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
So it is not the law that was seeking to kill him.. as some believe. It was those that believed that "they" were above God's law, that seeked to kill him.
I am a law fanatic. I believe in Law and Order.
If one keeps it you won't be in trouble, except by those who are either trying to remove it, or be above it.
If you walk IN it.. neither above not below.. not to the right nor to the left.. Strait and narrow..
Then you will be on a sure path. Because God said so.
And Jesus said so.
Jhn 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
And I don't care what any MAN says.. I believe the Lord.
