Page 13 - Laying Down the Law

Galatians 3:19
Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been
ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed should
come to whom the promise had been made.

This is the truth that many will not receive in this hour. The Law was given to
fulfill a purpose UNTIL the Seed should come. Yahshua is the Seed of the Father. He
has come. The Law has fulfilled its role of judge. It is no longer the arbiter of
righteous and unrighteous behavior for those who have been born of the Spirit. This
is a subject for a later chapter. Following are more Scriptures announcing the limited
duration of the Law.

Romans 7:1-4
Or do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law),
that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives? For the married
woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband
dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband. So then if, while her
husband is living, she is joined to another man, she shall be called an
adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not
an adulteress, though she is joined to another man. Therefore, my brethren,
you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, that
you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead,
that we might bear fruit for God.

Over and over the apostles declare that the Law’s duration was limited. Its intent
and purpose is complete when a man or woman is born of the seed of Christ and they
become a partaker of a better covenant.

Galatians 4:1-5
Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave
although he is owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers
until the date set by the father. So also we, while we were children, were held
in bondage under the elemental things of the world. But when the fulness of
the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,
in order that He might redeem those who were under (past tense) the Law,
that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Hebrews 9:9-10
Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the
worshiper perfect in conscience, since they relate only to food and drink and
various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of
reformation.
