Hebrews seems to be the root of confusion for many. Let’s center ourselves for a bit shall we?
Some think that the law of God has changed according to
Hebrews 7:12 and they are right. But
is it the 10 Commandments, The book of the law, both, or only in part of one or the other?
Let’s take a look shall we? In Doing so we shall see that it was the law pertaining to who was to be priest that changed and their ministry according to chapters 7,8,9-10 and 13
You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3 being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God,
not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as
coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, 6 who also made us adequate
as servants of a new
covenant,
not of the letter but of the Spirit; for
the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 But if
the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading
as it was, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? 9 For if
the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.
2 Corinthians 3
Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to
die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead... now we have been
released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and
not in oldness of the letter. I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, “
You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, taking opportunity through
the commandment...
Romans 7
For sin shall not be master over you, for you are
not under Law but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are
not under Law but under grace? Romans 6:14-15
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are
not under the Law. Galatians 5:18
8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for
he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law. 9 For this, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore
love is the fulfillment of the Law.
Romans 13
For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in this - “
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:14
You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3 being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God,
not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as
