298 God’s Workyou as a Christian are being judged now (I Peter 4:17). All thelegal works of the law do not apply because Christ came to fulfillor complete The Law (Matthew 5:17).Christ Fulfills The LawIn Matthew 5:17-18 Christ made a major declaration:17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, orthe prophets: I am not come to destroy, but tofulfill. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven andearth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wisepass from the law, till all be fulfilled.What many Christians declare is, “Yes, Jesus came to fulfill TheLaw or keep it perfectly.” That is true, absolutely, but that is notwhat these two verses really say. Even though Jesus was sinlessand paid for your sins by giving His life for you, these two verseshave a greater spiritual meaning. Read them thoroughly.Consider and study each thought about what each word reveals.First, Christ said that He does not destroy or do away with TheLaw. Jesus came to fulfill it. The Law is never done away, butnotice it is changed (Hebrews 7:12). Now, The Law is only to bekept spiritually and not in The Letter, which kills. The Letter orThe Written Laws and legal requirements, have all been fulfilled- or completed in Christ. This is because they are only shadowsand are not really of Christ. If you keep The Letter of The Law,you deny Christ ‘‘In You” fulfills The Law. You lack faith. Jesuscontinued by stating that The Law remains the same until the newheaven and new earth will come down from above. However,at the time of the new heaven and new earth, there is a change.This is because at that time, Christ said The Law will be different.
