Jesus Christ, the living Word of God, is a perfect replica of what God's law teaches. Pointing us to His character and work is the "aim" of the law.

The book of Acts is a key historical record of what the early Church believed and practiced.

In many Bible versions it can be difficult to tell when a New Testament writer is quoting from the Old Testament.

By the time of Jesus and Paul, some Jewish religious leaders had distorted the focus of God's law.

One of the most misguided conceptions of the New Covenant is the idea that through it Jesus Christ canceled obedience to the laws contained in the Old Testament.

What prompted David to make his enthusiastic statement, “Oh, how I love your law”?

Many people assume from Colossians 2:16-17 that Paul is saying that God's laws about the Sabbath, Holy Days and clean and unclean meats are no longer necessary.

Paul warned the Christian gentiles in Colosse against misguided human philosophy, not against the need to keep God's law.

The following quote from a book by Dr. Troy Martin, professor of Religious Studies at Chicago's Saint Xavier University, on Paul's letter to the Colossians provides an effective rebuttal to the common but false argument that Paul taught Christian gentiles...

Paul explains in Colossians that God's weekly Sabbath day and sacred festivals are a shadow of things to come.

The inadequate and misleading translation of a passage in Colossians 2 in some Bible versions is often used to support the flawed belief that God's law was "wiped out" by Jesus Christ.

Almost immediately after the Roman armies destroyed the city of Jerusalem and its temple in A.D. 70, intense prejudice against Jewish beliefs and customs spread like wildfire throughout the Roman Empire.

Both internal and historical evidence indicates that Paul was in prison when he wrote his epistles to the Ephesians and Colossians.

Paul's letter to the Ephesians is about God's marvelous plan to bring peace, unity and salvation to all peoples—Jews and gentiles alike.

God planned from the beginning to transform the limited and temporary covenant He made with ancient Israel—with its abundance of symbolic sacrifices—into a far superior covenant commitment with a permanent sacrifice for sin open to all of mankind.

The love most often spoken of in the bible is an outgoing concern for others as demonstrated by our actions and more meaningful than mere feelings.

The New Covenant unquestionably provides a better relationship with God than the relationship portrayed only symbolically in the former covenant.

God balances justice with mercy by considering what is in the heart—whether there remains any possibility of repentance.

What was the problem with the Sinai Covenant?

One common interpretation of the book of Galatians is that Paul criticized the Galatians for keeping the biblical Sabbath and Holy Days.
