Are Christians Still Under the Law? Uncovering the Truth from Scripture

Throughout history, this has been a complicated question among Christians as to whether they are under the Mosaic law (which is the set of commandments given through Moses in the old testament book). Here’s a brief look at some of the main positions:

Mainstream Protestant view: According to most Protestants Christians, while the moral and ethical principles in Old Testament Law continue to apply, its ceremonial and civil/judicial parts have no more obligation on Christians. The teaching is rooted in New Testament such as Acts 15, Galatians 3 and Romans 6-8 where it is stated that believers are not subject to laws but rather they are under grace which comes by faith in Christ.

Some Protestant groups: There are some Protestant denominations like Seventh-day Adventists and certain Baptists that do not consider themselves subject to ritual law yet still observe Ten Commandments including keeping Sabbath on Saturday.

Catholic and Orthodox view: Catholics and orthodox Christians tend to think that Mosaic law has ceased being binding for Christians throughout. However, ten commandments together with other moral teachings remain authoritative and valid. They distinguish between moral ceremonial and civic aspects of Mosaic laws.

Messianic Judaism: This movement combines Jewish tradition with Christian belief in Jesus as messiah generally regard mosaic law as obligatory for Jewish believers in Jesus while Gentile believers need not keep it fully.

It should be noted that within each of these broad perspectives there may be variations or shades of interpretation in how different individuals or churches understand what role the Mosaic Law plays in Christianity.

In this deep live stream we will examine biblical evidence which supports this teaching that adherents of Christianity no longer hold responsibility tied up by mosaic regulations. That is why all over new testament there are powerful verses showing how relations with laws have changed after arrival of Christ and coming into force new covenant based on grace alone.

We’ll jump into key verses from Acts, Romans, Galatians and more where the apostles like Paul declare in no uncertain terms that followers of Christ are not under the law but under grace. We will look at the council of Jerusalem in Acts 15 which addresses Gentiles converts and their relationship with law.

In Romans, we will dissect Paul’s deep teachings on how we’ve been discharged from the law and how trying to be justified by it undermines Christ’s sacrifice power. Galatians 3 presents a strong case against returning to bondage of law after experiencing freedom through gospel.

Apart from these major passages, this message will reflect on broader biblical themes such as old vs. new covenants and how Christ has fulfilled the law thereby inaugurating a new era of being justified by faith.

These enlightening scriptures show us what our relationship is to the Law when we consider that Jesus’ work on Calvary is complete. Christians must understand that this live stream is bound to become an entertaining study on one of the most significant issues for their lives today.
