Many believe that this New Way of Messiah abolished the entire law of the Jew, the Hebrew Scriptures and the laws of the Creation and gave the Christian a new law, the law of freedom and grace. 

What is this freedom and grace? Is it lawlessness, void of the commandments of God that define sin? Is it the omission of the laws of God woven into the Creation from the Beginning of time? Never! 

The new law of grace allows us to approach the Eternal God and Father of Life by the New and Living Way of our High Priest, the Way of the Living Person of Jesus, the Son of God. This is the gift of God’s Grace.

Now here we have a mystery before us. We are no longer under the Law. Under what Law? Is it the Law of the Jew? Paul tells us that, ‘to those who are under the Law, I became as under the Law though not being myself under the Law…’ But we all know Paul was a Jew. So therefore, Paul was a Jew but yet not under the Law. How can this be? Does not the very definition of being Under the Law equal being Jewish?

Jesus, during His earthly ministry said, ‘Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up…’ Paul must have been shown this mystery of Messiah’s body and knew of a teaching about the Law that explained it. James did too and they both defined the laws of God by dividing it into two categories – the Moral Law or Law of Liberty (10 commandments) vs the Law of Ordinances or Ceremonial Law (Temple Law).

The New and Living Way of Messiah’s body became the new fulfilled Law that was transferred from the Ceremonial Law of the Temple to His own body. Messiah’s Resurrected body is now the new Living Temple for God’s righteousness. He has become the throne of grace.

This is the higher Torah of Messiah, the source and origin of the Torah of Moses and the Laws of Temple worship, a copy of the mystery of the things in the heavens, seated on the foundation of the world.
