Lesson 3869

 (Lesson 3869)(08-22-22) Colossians 2:13-14

  And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;”

    Today’s is a lesson for those who believe that one must live a perfect, sin free life after being born again and eternally saved from sin.

     That erroneous contention is denied by today’s quote. Therein, it is clearly stated that those of us whom have been born again have had the rules from which sin originated, “blotted out”. That means there are no more rules, such as those written in the old laws of the Jews that apply to us. Including the “Ten Commandments”.

    Jesus Himself said as much in Matthew 22:37-40, “Thou shalt love the Lord the God with all thy heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thous shalt love they neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets.” 

    If we simply abide by the two “Great commandments”, we have fulfilled all the others.~
