THE LAW FULFILLED
Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.”
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.”
Encouraging Words
Adam and Eve broke the natural laws that God had put in place for humankind. Because of this, and the way that humanity persisted at breaking our covenants with God, God gave us a law to follow. He also gave us prophets to point the way to Him. And yet, we continued to stray from Him. Then came Jesus, God incarnate, to show us that we can live a life that glorifies God. He did that completely and flawlessly and therefore fulfilling the law on our behalf. He did not come to destroy the law of God, but to fulfill it. Glory be to God!
