Question: Do we still need the Ten Commandments if the Lord Jesus abolished the Law through His sacrifice?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

I assume that the reader refers to the text from Ephesians 2:<\/p>\n

\n

For He Himself is\u00a0our peace,\u00a0who made both\u00a0groups into\u00a0one and broke down the\u00a0barrier of the dividing wall, \u00a0by\u00a0abolishing in His flesh the enmity,\u00a0which is\u00a0the Law of commandments\u00a0contained\u00a0in ordinances, so that in Himself He might\u00a0make the two into\u00a0one new man,\u00a0thus\u00a0establishing\u00a0peace, and might\u00a0reconcile them both in\u00a0one body to God through the cross,\u00a0by it having\u00a0put to death the enmity. \u00a0(Ephesians 2: 14-16)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In this text, the apostle Paul speaks of the relationship between Jews and Gentiles. According to this text, what envisioned enmity between Jews and Gentiles was the Law, that is, the Old Covenant, with the ordinances established by God. Indeed, the law forbade the people of Israel to have connections with the Gentiles:<\/p>\n

\n

31\u00a0I will fix your boundary from the\u00a0Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River\u00a0Euphrates;\u00a0for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will\u00a0drive them out before you.\u00a032\u00a0You shall\u00a0make no covenant with them<\/strong>\u00a0or with their gods. \u00a0They shall not live in your land<\/strong>, because they will make you sin against Me; for\u00a0if\u00a0you serve their gods,\u00a0it will surely be a snare to you.\u201d(Exodus 23: 31-33)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

and<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u201cWhen the\u00a0Lord\u00a0your God brings you into the land where you are entering to possess it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites,\u00a0seven nations greater and stronger than you,\u00a02\u00a0and when the\u00a0Lord\u00a0your God delivers them before you and you defeat them,\u00a0then you shall\u00a0utterly destroy them.\u00a0You shall make no covenant with them\u00a0and show no favor to them.\u00a03\u00a0Furthermore,\u00a0you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your\u00a0daughters to\u00a0their sons, nor shall you take\u00a0their daughters for your\u00a0sons<\/strong>.\u00a04\u00a0For\u00a0they will turn your\u00a0sons away from following Me to serve other gods; then the anger of the\u00a0Lord\u00a0will be kindled against you and\u00a0He will quickly destroy you. (Deuteronomy 7: 1-4).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In Romans 7: 4 it is written that in the body of Christ those born under the Law die to the Law, which is to the Old Covenant. It is important to make a difference between the Law, the Old Covenant and the will of God. The apostle Paul in his epistles uses the term of “law” with reference to the Old Covenant and not to God’s will. The will of God was and remains the same at all times: before the Law (the Old Covenant) was given, and both: during the Old Covenant and during the New Covenant. The 10 commandments are a summary of the will of God, how God wants us to relate to Him (the first 4 commandments) and to those around us (the next six commandments). By the annulment or abolition of the Old Covenant the will of God does not change, it remains the same. God gave His Only Son, the Lord Jesus, so that the man could fulfill the will of God, that is, the commandments of the Old Covenant.<\/p>\n

\n

Therefore there is now no\u00a0condemnation for those who are\u00a0in\u00a0Christ Jesus.\u00a02\u00a0For\u00a0the law of the Spirit of life\u00a0in\u00a0Christ Jesus\u00a0has set you free from the law of sin and of death.\u00a03\u00a0For\u00a0what the Law could not do,\u00a0weak as it was through the flesh, God\u00a0did: sending His own Son in\u00a0the likeness of\u00a0sinful flesh and\u00a0as an offering\u00a0for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,\u00a04\u00a0so that the\u00a0requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us<\/strong>, who\u00a0do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit<\/strong>.
\n(Romans 8:1-4)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, we who enter the New Covenant are not under the Old Covenant to obey those commandments and ordinances that were “the shadow of the coming goods,” meaning, they showed the work of salvation that the Lord Jesus would do (Hebrews 10: 1) , But we are to respect the will of God. In the New Covenant the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus saves me from the law of sin and death so that I can fulfill the will of God. We must not confuse the Old Covenant (the Law) with the will of God.<\/p>\n
