GoD's WorK - God's Puzzle Solved

228 God’s Workdefined as “to level up,” “fully fill” or “complete.” Some say bykeeping it, The Law is fully filled. Others say, no, it means tocome to a final end or completion. Which meaning is correct?First, there is a specific Greek word that means “to keep” or “do.”In Acts 13:22, Paul was preaching in Antioch in “the synagogue”and was talking about King David. Paul is preaching about howGod changed the name of The King of Israel from Saul to David.Paul said, “And when he had removed him (Saul), he raised upunto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony,and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man aftermine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will.” The Greek,in this case, for “fulfill” is “poieo” and it specifically means “todo” or “to make.”If Jesus meant when He said, “to fulfill” The Law was “to do” or“keep it,” then He would have used the proper Greek word “tokeep” or “do” which is “poieo.” Since Christ specifically saidthe Greek, “pleroo,” which is “to complete” or “fill up” He wasnot saying He came to keep The Law but, instead, to completeits purpose. Christ was saying “The Law” had a purpose andnot merely a point of law in a court of being guilty or not, whensinning or breaking The Law (I John 3:4). Is there further proof?Yes, the context makes the meaning clear. Many Christians interestedin the subject of The Law read the context of Matthew5:16-17, but miss the entire meaning Jesus was teaching. In additionto The Law, Jesus also said in Matthew 5:17 that he came“to fulfill” what The Prophets had prophesied. Obviously, Christdid not mean “to fulfill” or “to keep” nor “do” what The Prophetssaid. He came not only to “fulfill” or “complete” The Law, butalso to fulfill what The Prophets had said about Him. How plain!That is why Jesus used the word “pleroo” instead of “poieo.” SoChrist said He came to complete what The Law said about Him
