The Institutes of Biblical Law

Law in Acts and Epistles (Remastered)


Listen Later

This section argues that the New Testament never buries God’s law but repositions it: the Decalogue and moral demands are reaffirmed and intensified (especially inwardly, as Watson notes), while the church rejects only the misuse of law as a means of justification. Acts 15 is framed not as abolishing the law, but as refusing circumcision and rabbinic “law of Moses” as a saving yoke, while still presupposing obedience and issuing boundary instructions to Gentile converts for holiness and fellowship. Paul’s “not under law but under grace” (Rom. 6:14) means believers are no longer under the law as a condemning covenant-of-works death sentence, because that sentence is satisfied in Christ the law doesn’t die; the old man dies judicially in Christ so the regenerate can truly “delight in the law” (Rom. 7:22) and aim at sanctification “that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us” (Rom. 8:4). In short, grace delivers from law-as-condemnation and law-as-salvation-method, but establishes law as the Spirit-enabled norm for life, holiness, and the Kingdom’s ethical order. #LawAndGrace #Acts15 #JustificationByFaith #Sanctification #MoralLaw #Decalogue #Romans6 #Romans7 #Romans8 #NewTestamentEthics #KingdomLiving
