SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES ARE WE UNDER THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? By Evangelist Samuel A. Matthews Church of Christ Prior to the teaching of Jesus, the Law of Moses was the most complete com-plete code of laws ever given to men (Rom. 7:12). It served admirably ad-mirably in the place and time for which it was designed by God (1 Tim. 1:8). But the Law of Moses, including the Ten Commandments, was not God's final revelation to man (John 1:17). It was perfect for the purpose for which it was given: as a "schoolmaster" to bring the Jews to Christ (Gal. 3:24). And it was temporary in that it was to continue only until Christ revealed his teaching (Gal. 3:19, 25; cf. Eph. 2:13-16). The Law of Moses dealt with the act that was wrong. The teachings of Christ has given mankind a better bet-ter way by dealing with the wrong thought behind the act. For example: exam-ple: the sixth commandment said, "Thou shalt not kill" (Ex. 20:13), "...and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment" (Matt 5:21b). But Jesus said, "...whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement..." (Matt 5:22). The seventh commandment said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery" adul-tery" (Ex. 20:14). Jesus said, "...whosoever lookcth on a woman to lust after her hath committed Wednesday, August 21 , 1991 17 D&wimeii0 i SCHOOL , C K A Y ML E B Y G H E T H A L MP H B N I V B G L T E A E E F S F R MC E O D H A H C O F A H O K I I L J R s B R C MO U R Q S O X N L L E R W A A D I E E P E P A P Z N E U T S S D G R R E R K 1A READING MATH HAIRCUTS TEACHER SPELLING BEE BELL PAPER FOOTBALL RECESS GYM PENCIL NOTES News from Whiterocks by Virginia Ferguson 353-4584 Whiterocks7 residents visit Wasatch Front Cliff and Connie Pike, with their three children, drove to Orcm to visit vis-it Connie's parents, Laura and John Nusink during five days last week.

The Blayne Morrill funeral was last week and was attended by many relatives from all parts of Utah, Idaho and California. Stan and LaRae Hoopes, with their four daughters, drove to Salt Lake City to visit Lagoon. They stayed overnight and the next day, drove to Burley, Idaho, spending two nights there visiting relatives and shopping.

Followers of Christ, however, assembled on the first day (Sunday). "And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples disci-ples came together...:" (Acts 20:7; cf. 1 Cor. 16:2). A person might follow the Ten Commandments today and still not be a Christian. For instance, one who does not believe in Christ could keep the moral principles of the Ten Commandments, but certainly, one who does not believe in Christ would not be a Christian. Thus, the Christian is under a new and better covenant (Hcb. 8:6-13; 2 Cor. 3:6-14). 3:6-14). The need of the human race is supplied in Christ (Phil. 4:19), who "brought life and immortality to light" through His Gospel (2 Tun. 1:10). God's power to save mankind today is the Gospel of Christ (Rom. 1:16), not the Law of Moses. If we desire God's eternal salvation, we must believe be-lieve and obey Jesus (Hcb. 5:8-9). He said, "He that bclicycth and is baptized bap-tized shall be save..." (Mark 16:16). Please, search the Scriptures to see whether these things are so (Acts 17:11). 781-0914 |
