The commandments of God?

Question

1JOHN 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for SIN is the transgression of the law.

Now if the law of God was abolished or nailed to the cross, then does that mean that there is no more sin.

Answer 1

No.

For Christians, Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses.

Christians are not held to the ceremonial parts of the Mosaic Law concerning of dietary purity and temple worship.

Christians are held to the moral law of God, some of which is expressed in the Ten Commandments.

However Jesus took the Ten Commandments to the next step summarizing them into the two Great Commandments:
+ You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.
+ You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

And teaching things like
+ Everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
+ Everyone is our neighbor including our enemies.

Therefore we have to go much farther than the original recipients of the Ten Commandments ever dreamed.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

There is still sin. (Read Romans the first four chapters I think) before we had the law we didn't know sin, so we could not sin (this is why kids and retarded people do not go to hell when they die because the didn't know sin, hence couldn't make a conscious choice) What was nailed to the cross you see is the meeting of God's mercy and God's wrath. What Jesus endured was meant for us. We deserve to be mocked, scorned, beatened and put to death for our sins. The cross was the price of sin. Jesus paid it. We will still sin, even those who are under the new covenant because we still have our old nature. However salvation future ensures us that we will get new bodies that are sinless.

Answer 3

God's law was never abolished. By Jesus dying for our sins does not mean we have to go on committing sin. Jesus died once for all time so we do not need animal sacrifices anymore. By Jesus death, we can gain life and also the forgiveness of our sins. This does not give us an excuse to continue in sin

Answer 4

Christ Jesus was “set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;” ......Romans 3:25
Jesus paid the penalty for “sins that are past.” He did not die that we may practice or, “continue in sin.” If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” ......1 John 1:9 “...If we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries... It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” ......Hebrews 10:26-31
Those who accept, through faith, the gracious free gift of the righteousness of Christ and who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit are “free from the law of sin and death.” Jesus has paid the death penalty for “sins that are past” and believers have been given the “holy Spirit of promise”, “the earnest of our inheritance,", that we may walk after the spirit and thereby not practice sin.

Answer 5

Sin is the transgression of law.
When old law in abrogated, new law will take place.
The world cannot stand without law.

Answer 6

Does it matter?

Christians believe they can be forgiven everything anyway.... so provided they repent it doesn't matter what the smeg they do in the meanwhile. Its a nice, convenient get-out-of-jail-free card for all situations.

Now anyone stupid enough to become god's sycophantic little ***** can get into heaven... regardless of background or action during life.

Answer 7

When Jesus died on the cross for man, He bore the sin for all mankind and, by his blood, sin was washed away. That doesn't mean man no longer sins--we have an arbitrator between ourselves and God, Jesus' father, who died for our sins and rose from a tomb on the third day...Jesus.This proved that there was life, through Jesus, by accepting him personally, for all of mankind for eternity.

Answer 8

Anything God commands us to do, either directly or through his Son, can be called "law."

Law does not always automatically refer to the Mosaic Law Covenant.

In Matthew 28:19, 20 we are told to teach new disciples ALL the things Jesus, who was sent by God, has commanded us. We know Jesus was sent by Jehovah, and his commands are from him, because Luke 10:16 says: "He that listens to you listens to me too. And he that disregards you disregards me too. Moreover, he that disregards me disregards also him that sent me forth."

In Hebrews 5:9 we are informed that salvation is dependant upon our obedience to the Son of God.

Answer 9

Yes, most professing christians are deceived, we must keep the 10 commandments, it is sin not to do so!

Answer 10

There is no more sin to them who are saved. Not saying we will not sin but our sins are forgiven. Yes we should still ask for forgivness but when we sin it takes us from the fellowship.
