The fulfillment of the law within the NT Covenant and what it consist of can be proven out in the fourth, sixth, and seventh commandment.. The fourth commandment that most religious leaders in the world today have no understanding of how it’s fulfilled. Deuteronomy 5:13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work. If working on the Sabbath day is wrong (by the way the Sabbath on the Jewish calendar falls on a Saturday not Sunday) If working on a Saturday is wrong, why was Jesus breaking the Sabbath? Now we know that Jesus was found picking ears of corn on the Sabbath. Mark 2:23 says,And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. Mark 2:24 says And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? Mark 2:25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? Mark 2:26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Mark 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Christ is our Sabbath, He came to fulfill, or we could say to magnify this commandment. Isaiah 42:21 says, The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honorable.
The sixth commandment given to Moses is Thou shall not kill. Matthew 5:21 it says, Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: See how Christ magnified the Sixth Commandment by showing that murder begins in the heart and is rooted in hatred and anger. The spiritual fulfillment of this commandment Christ fulfilled extends far beyond the letter of the Law which judges only the physical acts of violence. Under the New Covenant, hatred in one’s heart is judged as murder. 1 John 3:15 says, Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
Christ also taught the spiritual meaning of the Seventh Commandment.. Look how Jesus magnified the Seventh Commandment. Matthew 5:27 tells us “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Again, this commandment is by far more magnified than did the letter of the Law. Every individual is held accountable for his or her adulterous thoughts, even if no physical act is committed. Christ fulfillment of the commandments’ even the requirement for circumcision of the flesh, it was elevated by spiritual circumcision of the heart.. Spiritual circumcision brings conversion of the body, soul, and spirit, which physical circumcision in the flesh cannot accomplish. What better way to truly know God then to have His commandments written within our hearts, within our enter man. Six days God created the earth, On the seventh day God did rest from His works. Again, He is our rest, He is our Sabbath. within these two statements are the fulfill of the law. This world absolutely will not believe man living in this world can enter into a place where there is no sin.
