Matthew 5:17-20

Listen to Matthew 5:17-20

17 Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

The Law of the Kingdom Part 1

Jeff Johnson

Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not by works, so that no one can boast!” That sure makes it clear, we’re saved by grace and not by trying to live up to the standard of the law. But does that mean the law of God is unnecessary? Today on Sound Doctrine we learn that Jesus didn’t come to destroy the law, but rather fulfill it! But what should our response to the law be? Find out today.
