In this message, we walk through a thoughtful and biblical explanation of whether Christians should still follow God’s law, a question that often comes up in conversations with other believers. The message examines common reasons people believe the law was done away with, including misunderstandings about the New Testament, the writings of Paul, and the meaning of Christ “fulfilling” the law. By looking carefully at Christ’s words, the apostles’ example, and especially the clear writings of the apostle John, the message shows that God’s law was not abolished but continues to guide Christians today, not as a way to earn salvation, but as a response to God’s grace and a way to live a life of love toward God and others. Ultimately, the message reminds us that the simplest answer comes from the example of Jesus Himself—if Jesus kept God’s law and taught others to do the same, then we should strive to follow His example as we walk the same path.
