LAW

The ten commandments were given to define sin and to help mankind realize that the keeping of the whole law was impossible.  I made it clear in My teaching that if one of the laws in the commandments was broken that the whole law would be broken.

I came to fulfill the law, not to do away with it.  When you observe My life as you read the gospels, you will discover that I broke most every religious law.  The religious leaders in My day prided themselves on keeping the laws, but I wanted them to realize that they could not earn righteousness by keeping religious laws.

When I died on the tree, I broke the curses of the law upon mankind.  I was the perfect sacrifice that made it possible for those who received Me as their Lord and Savior to have right standing and a relationship with My Father through Me.  It always pleases Me when you recognize that I have given you the robe of righteousness and I have crowned you with My glory.
