Could it be that one of the great discoveries will be that the early Christians were Torah Observent like Jesus Christ?

Jesus summed up the entire Torah in Matt. 7:12, “In everything, therefore,treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”

 

Paul summed up the entire Ten Commandments in Romans 13:3, “Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”

 

As far as whether we're still under the Law, Paul explains our glorious release in Romans 7:6, “But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.”

 

aul goes on in Romans 8 to explain, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.”

 

Rather than meaning that believers are now “lawless,” being released from the Law means that the lawful Spirit of Jesus dwells in us, and we live through Him, for we died and rose with Him. Hallelujah!
