TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR 18TH OCTOBER 2023
The devil specializes in flinging the law before you and yet the law has been fulfilled. So, you have no business looking at the law. It has been fulfilled. Jesus did away with it. Let’s us look at the scriptures: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” (Matthew 5:17-18 KJV). You cannot fulfill the law. So, Jesus came to fulfil it on your behalf.
“For what the law could not do, in that, it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:3-4 KJV)
Christ by His obedience had fulfilled the law. From Adam to the last person in the old testament, no one was able to obey the law. Only Jesus came to fulfill the law and He fulfilled all the law. Why did he fulfill it? So that we will no more be held accountable for it. When something is fulfilled, it is fulfilled. When something is fulfilled, it is over. “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” (Galatians 4:4-5 KJV)
Christ has redeemed those who were held captive by the law. That speaks of the church. He redeemed us from what the devil was using to accuse us. Praise God. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, ….” (Romans 8:1 KJV)
