Read the passage below along with the notes taken from the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/store\/product.php?productid=25216\" target=\"_blank\">Chronological Life Application Study Bible<\/a> to help you explore these questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1580397764917\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the Old Testament Law?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Old Testament Law is found in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. This includes the Ten Commandments. It is often referred to in Scripture as the &#8220;Law of Moses,&#8221; the &#8220;tablets of the covenant,&#8221; or just &#8220;Law&#8221;.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cDon\u2019t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God\u2019s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God\u2019s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. But I warn you\u2014unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!&#8221;<strong> \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Matthew+5%3A17-20&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MATTHEW 5:17-20<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"video\"><strong>DOES THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW STILL APPLY?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If Jesus did not come to abolish the law, does that mean all the Old Testament laws still apply to us today? In the Old Testament, the law has three dimensions: ceremonial, civil, and moral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/blog.olivetree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Three_Types_of_OT_Law.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ONE: Ceremonial Law<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The ceremonial law<\/em> related specifically to Israel\u2019s worship (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Lev+1%3A2-3&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lev 1:2-3<\/a>, for example). Its primary purpose was to point forward to Jesus Christ; these laws, therefore, were no longer necessary after Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection. While ceremonial law no longer binds us, the principles behind them\u2014to worship and love a holy God\u2014still apply. The Pharisees often accused Jesus of violating ceremonial law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TWO: Civil Law<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The civil law<\/em> applied to daily living in Israel (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Deut+24%3A10-11&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deut 24:10-11<\/a>, for example). Because modern society and culture are so radically different from that time and setting, all of these guidelines cannot be followed specifically. But the principles behind the commands are timeless and should guide our conduct. Jesus demonstrated these principles by example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>THREE: Moral Law<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The moral law<\/em> (such as the Ten Commandments) is the direct command of God, and it requires strict obedience (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Exod+20%3A13&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Exod 20:13<\/a>, for example). The moral law reveals the nature and will of God, and it still applies today. Jesus obeyed the moral law completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>THE ULTIMATE GOAL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>God gave His laws to help people love God with all their hearts and minds. Throughout Israel\u2019s history, however, these laws had often been misquoted and misapplied. By Jesus\u2019 time, religious leaders had turned the laws into a confusing mass of rules. When Jesus talked about a new way to understand God\u2019s law, he was actually trying to bring people back to its original purpose. Jesus did not speak against the law itself but against the abuses and excesses to which it had been subjected (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=John+1%3A17&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John 1:17<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>OBEYING &gt; EXPLAINING<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of those in the crowd were experts at telling others what to do, but they themselves missed the central point of God\u2019s laws. Jesus made it clear that obeying God\u2019s laws is more important than explaining them. It\u2019s much easier to study God\u2019s laws and tell others to obey them than to put them into practice. How are you doing at obeying God yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>HEART CHANGE &gt; OBEYING<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pharisees were exacting and scrupulous in their attempts to follow their laws. So how could Jesus reasonably call us to greater righteousness than theirs? The Pharisees\u2019 weakness was that they were content to obey the laws outwardly without allowing God to change their hearts (or attitudes). They looked pious, but they were far from the Kingdom of Heaven. God judges our hearts as well as our deeds, for it is in the heart that our real allegiance lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus was saying that his listeners needed a different kind of righteousness altogether (out of love for God), not just a more intense version of the Pharisees\u2019 obedience (which was mere legal compliance). Our righteousness must<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(1)<\/strong> come from what God does in us, not what we can do by ourselves,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(2)<\/strong> be God-centered, not self-centered,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(3)<\/strong> be based on reverence for God, not approval from people, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(4)<\/strong> go beyond keeping the law to living by the principles behind the law. We should be just as concerned about our attitudes that people don\u2019t see as about our actions that they do see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.olivetree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/CLASBSocial-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/CLASBSocial-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/CLASBSocial-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/CLASBSocial-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/CLASBSocial-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This content came directly from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/store\/product.php?productid=25216\">Chronological Life Application Study Bible<\/a>!
