Jesus Came to Fulfill in Us the Law of God ㅡ
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”
(Matthew 5:17, 18)
The infinite sacrifice which Christ has made to magnify and exalt the law testifies that not one jot or tittle of that law will relinquish its claims upon the transgressor.
Christ came to pay the debt which the sinner had incurred by transgression and by His own example to teach man how to keep the law of God.
Said Christ, “I have kept my Father’s commandments” (John 15:10).
It is inconceivable how so many, professing to be servants of God, can set aside His law and teach sinners that they are not amenable to its precepts. What a fatal delusion!
“God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son” that the lost might be reclaimed.
He who has tasted and found that the Lord is good cannot bear the thought of following in the path of transgression. It is pain to him to violate the law of that God who has so loved him.
