The Apostle Paul, in the Book of Galatians, reminds us that Christ has indeed removed the curse of the law. Therefore, we cannot rely on the keeping of the law for our salvation. Once again, it is through faith and faith alone that anyone can receive salvation.

That being said, we should not miss the principles of the Old Testament that have been fulfilled in Christ. Jesus said that not one stroke of the letter of the law will pass away until all is accomplished. He was clearly stating that He was in no way altering, abrogating, or replacing any part of the law. He was completing it.

In Christ the moral law, the ceremonial law, and the judicial law had been met. Jesus Christ affirmed that “not one jot or one tittle” will pass away. In other words, He confirmed the inerrant, infallible Word of God, presented in the Old Testament as absolute authority! We too, my friend, must have the same mindset as Jesus. Henceforth, we have revelation of the Holy Spirit and greater responsibility in living the life of a true believer.

Jesus explained the moral content of the law could be wrapped up within the first commandment, acknowledging that the love of God and of neighbor would invariably result in the obedience to every other law.
