Could you please explain your understanding of the following verses.

17. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18. 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.

The Law is the law that God handed down to mankind - the 10 Commandments.

John 15:10

"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."

John 14:15

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."

This is the Law that Jesus is referring to in your scriptures"Till heaven and earth pass".

I also listed a couple of scriptures above that reinforce the importance of keeping God's Law's the 10 Commandments.

God made these laws to last until the end of this world.....so simple, but so misunderstood today.

God Bless

Brother Dan;

Jesus said to keep "His commandments" in a similar way that "He" Jesus has kept "His Father's commandments".

Jesus both kept and totally satisfied his father in perfect flawless obedience to the law "including the ten commandments!"

After doing this, Jesus put away the first to establish the second! Christ nailed the ten commandments to his cross'

and blotted them out forever! Now, he gives us two commandments, namely, "HIs Commandments" !

Thanks for your email. My understanding of Mathew 5.17 is that Jesus(Peace be upon him) said that he has come to fulfil the law of Moses,(PBUH) which indirectly was the Law of God. The inference that I draw from this verse is that Jesus (PBUH) was a follower of Moses (PBUH).

I forgot what the other verse was.
