“And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, to keep the commandments of the LORD, and His statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?” Deuteronomy‬ ‭10‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬. Many religious people today have the mistaken idea that these words have no place nor relevance in New Testament Christianity. They assume, because of misunderstanding the doctrines of grace, that all we now have to do, is simply ‘believe’ certain truths and then it makes little or no difference how we live. But that is a very dangerous misunderstanding that is leading many souls down a wrong road. While we rejoice that the ceremonial law of sacrifices and cleansing is done away in Christ, the things pertaining to God’s moral law are still what He requires of His true children. These are all part of the Law of love and they are for our good. But the real difference is, that His grace through Jesus Christ now makes it possible for us to obey and fulfill His requirements! Jesus said He did not come to do away with the Law, but to fulfill it. When He saves us and comes to dwell in us through His Spirit, His life within us will fulfill all that God requires.
