WHAT DO THE SCRIPTURE TELL US CONCERNING: LAW vs. FAITH IN JESUS?
Althrough the Old Testament is of many stories of our fore fathers and of the prophets, one of the most major important subject during that period are the Ten Commandments of LAWS that was given to Moses up on Mount Sinai by GOD Almighty. (Exodus 24:15) and Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount...
GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets..(Hebrew 1:1) Ref: Old King James: MOSES on Mount Sinai as GOD spoke to him...
These Laws were written in stones on tablets by GOD, to be obeyed by GOD people who were the Israelites. Unfortunately the children, the Israelites would not obey all of GOD commandments that Moses received from GOD ALMIGHTY, and these Laws became like a stumbling block for all who tried to obey ALL of them, as like today: (Galatians 3:10) For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, CURSED is every one that CONTINUE NOT in ALL things which are written in the book of the LAW to DO them.
Moses brought us the Law and Jesus was sent to bring us the Grace and Truth of the gospel from GOD, the Father. (John 1:17) For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. The Law made NOTHING PERFECT, only the FAITH in JESUS brought us near to GOD. A new Priest was needed, Jesus and the necessity a change in the law. (Hebrew 7:12,19) For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the Law. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope (faith in Jesus) did; by which we draw nigh (near) unto GOD ALMIGHTY, even the Father. The giving of tithing was under the Law and this too was abolished after bringing in a New Priest (Jesus) after the order of the High Priest Melchizedek. (Hebrew 7:5)
So by the Faith and the work of GOD and that is; believing in Jesus and the ones who GOD sent and by GOD grace we are saved. We should not make it difficult in the grace from GOD. (Galatians 2:21, Galatians 5:4, Galatians 4:5 and John 6:29) Do not frustrate the grace of GOD; for if righteousness comes by the law, then Christ is dead in vain -Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are Justified by the Law; you have FALLEN from GRACE. Jesus came to REDEEM us from the law ( to redeem them that were under the law, that we MIGHT received the adoption of sons.) Jesus said that this is the WORK of GOD, that we believe on him whom he have sent.
We all MUST fulfill all of the LAW in one word: even this: THOU SHALT LOVE thy neighbour as thyself. (Galatians 5:14)
Summary: Tithing is not commanded by Law for GOD children and it is not a way of worshipping GOD, the ONLY WAY we MUST worship GOD is in the Spirit of our Heart, on bending knees, standing, lying but this action of praises is personal between you and GOD through Jesus, not giving money to a person who tell you or may tell you lies concerning GOD word. Jesus told his disciples that they freely received and shall freely give. (Matthew 10:8) Ask yourself what did the disciples receive freely? The power and authority to cast out demons, heal the sick and raise the dead and the GOSPEL of the truth from JESUS by GOD! Than shall the disciple give GOD word freely and if they the disciple was commanded to give GOD word freely, so it shall be today givng FREELY!
Thanks to all readers for coming to my BLOG, I feel such a joyful spirit to share what the Holy Spirit has shown me, he is the ONLY teacher and I'm just a flame of a FIRE. (1st John 2:27) and Hebrew 1:7 and Jeremiah 23:29---until next time "May GOD word bless each and everyone who read and understand his words) in Jesus name ...Amen
