FOUNDATIONS: Week 14

What Is the Law—Biblically?

Key Texts:
Deut 4 • Ps 19 • Ps 119 • Matt 5 • Rom 7 • 1 John 2:3–4

📖 WHAT IS THE LAW?

The Law is not:

• a burden

• a curse

• or something abolished

👉 Biblically, the Law is:

Instruction. Direction. Truth.

🔑 THE LAW DEFINES RIGHTEOUSNESS

📖 Deuteronomy 4

The Law was given so that people would:

• live

• be wise

• walk rightly

📖 Psalm 19

“The law of YAHUAH is perfect, converting the soul…”

Not temporary.
👉 Perfect.

📖 Psalm 119

The longest chapter in Scripture—
all devoted to one thing:

👉 His Law

Described as:

• truth

• righteousness

• delight

• life

⚖️ THE LAW IN THE NEW TESTAMENT

📖 Romans 7:12

“The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.”

📖 Romans 7:22

“I delight in the law of Elohim…”

Paul did not abolish the Law. The Law of Sin and Death is never the Law of Moses or that of Life. They are opposites to Paul (Rom 7-8).
👉 He affirmed it.

🔥 MESSIAH’S OWN WORDS

📖 Matthew 5:17–19

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law…”

He did not come to remove it.

👉 He came to fulfill and establish it. 

🧠 WHAT FULFILL DOES NOT MEAN

It does NOT mean:

• abolish

• replace

• end

👉 It means to complete and confirm

📖 HOW DO WE KNOW HIM?

📖 1 John 2:3–4

“Hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments…”

This is not optional.

👉 It is definition.

⚠️ A HARD TRUTH

“He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar…”

Strong words.

But Scripture defines truth—not culture.

🌿 THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW

The Law:

• reveals sin

• defines righteousness

• guides life

• reflects His character

🕊️ WHAT THE LAW IS NOT

The Law does NOT save.

👉 Grace saves.

But the Law shows:

👉 how the saved live

🌱 THE RIGHT ORDER

Grace → Salvation
Faith → Response
Law → Direction

🔥 FOUNDATION TRUTH

You are not under the Law for salvation.
But you are not lawless in salvation.

🌿 FINAL WORD

If you love Him:

👉 you will walk in His ways (John 14:15)

🌿 His Law is truth.
His ways are life.
Walk in them.

Yah Bless.
