Unrighteousness Revealed

The laws Yahweh gave to Israel through Moses were not instruction for righteousness. They were revelation of their unrighteousness and how to maintain relationships while under the influence of that unrighteousness. “For no flesh will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.” (Romans 3:20 Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®)

The Law was not written as a product from the character of Jesus, or there would have been no laws about payment for sin or uncleanness. The “Lord’s Prayer,” similarly, would not be what He taught His disciples to pray, including “forgive us our trespasses.” We will not find righteousness through the Israeli laws.

We have found righteousness through being born of God, however! And we can find the power to walk in that righteousness by the power of His Spirit at work in our spirits to influence us to Life and Light. If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law (Galatians 5:18).

You are the light of the world. Shine!
