There are those who would try to make believe that they keep the whole Law, without breaking one of the smallest points of it... But they are fooling themselves, and break many points of it everyday...and since they break one single point...they have broken every single part...as The Scriptures teach. And thus according to their false doctrine, are found to be Law Breakers, which they condemn Christians as being.
But, don't they know....that The Curse of the Law has been broken forever in what The Messiah has done, He by fullfilling the whole Law for us, to secure our salvation, which we could not secure ourselves by any actions or efforts we might be able to muster?
We died in Him, was buried In Him, and was raised from the dead In Him...We have passed from death unto Life already...and are even now seated with The Messiah In Heaven.
Those that think that they are pleasing to God by trying to attain righteousness through keeping some of the laws of the former Covenant are decieving themselves...being ignorant of the righteousness of God that comes through Faith in The Messiah..and who do not rest in His finished work...
God has written the Law of The Messiah upon His peoples hearts, and they walk in the Holy Spirit's power...God working in them the Life of Christ....these producing the fruits of the Holy Spirit in their lives in an ever increasing measure. They not being law breakers, but rather upholding the the Spirit of the Law, in Loving God with all their hearts, mind, and strength and loving their fellow man as they love themselves, with the Love of The Messiah that is expressing itself in and through them, He being their Life.
