When Jesus spoke of fulfilling the law in Matthew 5:17(NIV) Do not think that I have come
to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. He
was speaking of bringing to fulfillment both the prophecies of Scripture and Scripture, by
His coming and His ministry here on this earth. In doing this, He manifested the
accurateness of the divine authority of the Old Testament.

What did Jesus mean when he said He came to fulfill the law? The Old Testament was intended to point us to Christ, who'd bring it to its point at which something is complete. Beginning with Moses and all the prophets he interprets for them the things concerning himself in all the scriptures. And provide us with righteousness making us acceptable before God he had to live a life complete obedience to Gods law. Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all prophets, He expounded to them the scriptures...Posted Wednesday, September 18, 2024 by Tawanna Taborn • 2 comments
God's word speaks truth that He is the living Savior and that He wants to be in fellowship with those who He created in His image. Isaiah 55:11 says So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. God's word will fulfill His purpose, the law. In Isaiah 45:23 scripture says I have sworn by myself, the word has gone forth from my mouth in righteousness and will not tu...Posted Wednesday, September 18, 2024 by Kristy Hammond • 2 comments
In 2 Peter 1:21 it reflects that prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. God inspired man to write the Bible by his spirit and many scriptures were prophecies meaning God foretold things to come. He sent Jesus to not only make atonement for our sins but also to fulfill the law. There were many things written in the Word of God that still have yet to be fulfilled or completed and Revelation 21:1 is a good example that there will ...Posted Tuesday, September 17, 2024 by Vanessa Howell • 3 comments
In Isaiah 53:1-12 mentions the suffering of the Messiah, who was coming to bring back the spiritual intention of the law. We do know that Jesus is the Messiah, also I'm reminded of the Garden of Eden when the fallen state of man happened. This where Jesus came to put us back in right standard with God. We had power and dominion over everything in the earth god was with us but then the fallen of man happened, and God was no long in us. The Pharisees and leaders in the Old Testament had changed th...Posted Monday, September 16, 2024 by Sandra Lately • 3 commentsIt was written in Isaiah the coming of Jesus to fulfill the law of Moses. The Pharisees had changed the law so much until it was more like legalism.Posted Monday, September 16, 2024 by Sandra Lately • 1 comments
The Pharisees always accused Jesus of abolishing the law, but that was further from the truth, Jesus never came to do away with the law but He came to fulfill it. He even went out of His way to promote the authority of it as a teacher and doer. Jesus said in Mathew 5: 19 that, Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the ...Posted Tuesday, September 17, 2024 by Paula Bingham • 2 comments
