In this video, we explore the importance of the ancient laws in the Old Testament. Why are they in the Bible, and what do they say to followers of Jesus? We explore how they fulfilled a strategic purpose in one key phase of the biblical story, leading up to Jesus who fulfilled the law and summarized it in the call to love God and love your neighbor as yourself.

I'm confused because I don't see where you explained the purpose of The Law. Torah, which is often mistaken to mean law, actually means teachings. These teachings set the boundaries and/or terms for how mankind is to first deal with God and secondly deal with their neighbor. The reason why these teachings are important is because without them, there is no sin, and without sin, there is no need for redemption or a Savior. Furthermore, there are promises and/or covenants that are tied to the obedience to these teachings.
Secondly, it should be noted that when the Bible refers to the heart, it is because at that time, it was thought that intellect and reason came from there. We now know that intellect comes from the mind. All actions start out as a thought. Therefore, allowing anger to go unchecked can lead you to actions like murder which is why it says those who are angry at their brother are in danger of the judgment.
Thirdly, the Savior made it clear in Matthew 5:17-19 that The Law is still in effect and should be obeyed even today.
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.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
I see how everyone loves these videos, but most of these videos are full of allegory and Christian thoughts that simply do not equate to the Hebrew culture and mindset of that time. The Bible, including the New Testament, is 90% Hebrew. It will never infurl its concepts and wisdom through the mindset of mainstream Christianity because that construct as we know it today doesn't exist until well after the New Testament events have occurred.
The only scriptures known at that time would have been the Tanakh, which we call the Old Testament. Most of what is taught in Christianity is an anachronism whereby a person takes what they believe to be true now and overlays and projects it onto things of the past even though those very notions and ideas didn't and couldn't have existed during that time. The Savior was a Jew. You can not fully understand Him without understanding The Law because it governed every aspect of His life.
Love the enemy is the ultimate

Hi there! I just wanted to say that religious or not, you are AMAZING and loved by God a lot! In fact, he loved you SO much that he sent his son, Jesus, to die on a cross. Whoever believes in him shall have eternal life. Here is a verse:
1 John 1:9 “ But if we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins. We can trust God. He does what is right. He will make us clean from all the wrongs we have done.”
YOU ARE AMAZING AND HAVE AN AMAZING DAY!!! 😎✝️❤️🙂

Yeshua said that not even the least important of the commandments should be relaxed. Anyone who doesn't guard them and teaches others not to guard them will be called least in the kingdom. Paul on the other hand taught to throw them all away. But I choose Yeshua.
The problem of this world is not climate change but SIN.
1. People do not know who is God. God gave King Solomon a Wisdom and yet he allowed the Worship of Artarte in 1000BC. It brought misery to Israel. It scattered Israel around the world.
2. Worship of Queen of Heaven provoke to anger. Jeremiah 7:18. Jesus Christ – The Rock – King of Kings – smashed already the Roman Empire. And yet the people want to worship the Queen of Heaven in the form of Virgin Mary.
Pope Pius 12 declared Mary, Queen of Heaven in October 11, 1954. Prior to that, he blessed Hitler with the Queen of Heaven. The effect, World War II.
Patriarch Kirill blessed Putin with the Queen of Heaven . The Effect, World War III.
Emperor Constantine changed the Sabbath to Sunday in March 7, 321AD in honour of Lucifer. A direct confrontation with God's Ten Commandments. Sunday means Sun Worship. Roman Empire Goddess Venus and Lucifer is the same person.
3. People has so many interpretation of the Bible. They abolish the Ten Commandments. Replace by Gift of Ephesian 2:8 . A Gift does not negate responsibility. Paul did not say: no need to obey the Ten Commandments. It is every Christian responsibility to obey the Ten Commandments.
4. People has many version of Jesus.
Jesus Christ is both Saviour ( John 12:47 ) and Judge (John 5:26-29 )
Jesus said: I am the Way, the Life and the Truth. No one comes to Father except through me. John 14:6
The Truth is, Jesus wants us to obey His commandments.
Jesus said: If you love me , you will obey my commandments. John14:15
Ten Commandments. Exodus 20
1-4 Love God
1. You shall have no other God except me.
2. You shall not make any graven image nor bow or serve.
3. You shall not use the name of God in vain.
4. Remember to observe Sabbath, keep it holy.
5-10 Love your neighbour
5. Honour your father and mother.
6. You shall not kill.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.
10. You shall not covet ( envy) your neighbour.
A gift of Ephesians 2:8 does not negate responsibility. St. Paul did not say, no need to obey the Ten Commandments.
I will ask you, what is victory prize by not obeying the Ten Commandments?
I am the way – Jesus Christ's way (not Paul's way or My Way.)
# Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven# Matthew 6:10
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,# but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven# Matthew 7:21
## – God's Will
If you obey God's Will, what is your Victory Prize ?
Philippians 3:14 GNT
14 So I run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize, which is God's call through Christ Jesus to the life above.
Awarding of victory prize
Revelation 3:10-11 Because you have kept my commandments to endures, I will also keep you safe, from the time of trouble which is coming upon the world to test all the on earth. I am coming soon. Keep safe what you have, so that no one will rob you of victory prize.
John 3:16-18 GNT
16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior.
18 Those who believe in the Son are not judged; but those who do not believe have already been judged, because they have not believed in God's only Son.
In the Old Testament:
God- The Father revealed that God is the *God of Abraham
*God of Isaac
*God of Jacob
In the New Testament:
God-The Son ( Jesus Christ ) revealed that God is Holy Trinity God
**God- The Father
**God- The Son ( Jesus Christ )
** God- The Holy Spirit – Spirit of Truth
According to Archbishop Fernandez – Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith: Jesus saves us, not a doctrine.
Samesex marriage too perhaps must be written in the law of moses… Don't interpreted those actions, "samesex marriage "… The biggest sin ever made in this world…all you do are nonsense… Naudzubillahi minzalik…🌐❤️
EXCELLENT!
This is the best ever❤. God richly bless your project 👍🙏
Thank you Jesus
I loved this video. It helped me understand what I was reading so much better. I just finished Genesis and Exodus and I was like wow I don't know if I can keep reading the rest of the books of the laws because I'm just lost as to why it's just going on and on and I don't understand the point. I came across this video and I was like ohhh I get it. Thanks Bible Project!
👏👏👏👏👏
Salt of the earth ❤
Brilliant, Tim and Jon.
UVA heat coming summer season
The Law is for men to know that they can never obey and so need Saviour who is Jesus Christ. That’s the only purpose. (refer Romans 11:32)
What font is used for the titles? The one that is used for “Love GOG and Others”.
Thank you!!
This is a great explanation!
This is the best explanation I’ve seen of the law and the prophets! Especially of the PATTERN that you explained in the Moses part. I’ve never seen it put that way before. Or noticed it myself. Thank you.
I’m 36 years old and been pretty religious but never understood the law of Moses until I watched this. Thank you
So great.
Sounds like pure nonsense 😅
Jesus came and fulfilled the law that we cannot, but once you give your life to Jesus you fulfill the law through Christ!
This doesn’t align with your law podcasts, because there you said “ the law came for ancient Israelites and not for us “ but this video sounds like we have to pull the law. I’m reading the Bible about it but needed an explanation and thought the Bible project would have something good to offer, I guess not.
Pretty good explanation, but I'm wondering if you are thinking that "loving" replaces commandment keeping.
" The one who loves fulfills the law" certainly doesn't mean that.
Love is an action, not an emotion.
You're not "fulfilling" the law by saying you love, you're showing love by following God's law ( and doing good works, which is part of God's law), and that is how you can love even your enemies.
If you love , you WILL keep the commandments and by keeping the commandments, you are loving.
You can't honestly say you love God or your neighbor while breaking God's law.
It's not about soft words or warm fuzzy feelings, it's about your actions.
Jesus was often harsh with people, calling them stupid, liars, hypocrites, thieves, and children of Satan… pretty "disrespectful", but that doesn't mean He didn't love them, He then turned around and died for those same people.
Being "disrespectful" or angry isn't necessarily unloving.
Love sometimes requires us to give someone a good verbal beatdown.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy, if you love God, and don't forget the annual sabbaths, which ARE a shadow of things to come.
Jesus will return soon, with the sounding of the trumpets, and the feast of trumpets is just around the corner.
Watch for the new moon, for noone knows the day or the hour of it's coming, we have to watch for it. Keep your lamps full of oil and watch for the bridegroom and
shout for joy!
blow the trumpets!
our King is coming ! 😊
That is what the feast of trumpets foreshadows.
Paul didn't say the holy days were done away with, he said not to let anyone judge you for keeping them because they have meaning.. they are a shadow of things to come, but the substance of the shadow is Christ.
If you love God, then you will keep the days that He commanded to be kept holy.
" By this, we know we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments,. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments , and His commandments are not burdensome ".
Keeping God's commandments IS loving God and loving our neighbor and if we love God and our neighbor, we WILL keep the commandments. You can't have one without the other.
Anything else is just lipservice.
you guys are amazing! God bless you
this is false we are under grace not under law
Surrender your life to Christ for the end is near.
❤❤❤ I love u guys finally I found this channel 🎉🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤
They say, "Our hearts are the wrappings (which preserve Allah.s Word: we need no more)." Nay, Allah.s curse is on them for their blasphemy: Little is it they believe.
And when there comes to them a Book from Allah, confirming what is with them,- although from of old they had prayed for victory against those without Faith,- when there comes to them that which they (should) have recognised, they refuse to believe in it but the curse of Allah is on those without Faith.
Miserable is the price for which they have sold their souls, in that they deny (the revelation) which Allah has sent down, in insolent envy that Allah of His Grace should send it to any of His servants He pleases: Thus have they drawn on themselves Wrath upon Wrath. And humiliating is the punishment of those who reject Faith.
When it is said to them, "Believe in what Allah Hath sent down, "they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us:" yet they reject all besides, even if it be Truth confirming what is with them. Say: "Why then have ye slain the prophets of Allah in times gone by, if ye did indeed believe?"
Holy Quran, chapter 2: Al Baqarah ( The Heifer ) verse 88 – 91
I'm currently writing a message I'll be delivering to a church and this helped a lot, thanks guys.
You guys are awesome
They are NOT good advice…they are COMMANDS.😐
Thank you guys!
Jesus did not come to abolish the Law. He came to fulfill it. It was necessary for Him to do it in order to be the instrument for redemption.
“The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.” Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.” (Galatians 3:12-14 NIV)
“God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.” (Romans 3:25, 31 NIV)
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:17-19 NIV)
LIVING IN THE SPIRIT MEANS OBEYING THE LAW VOLUNTARILY. The flesh is what resists obeying the Law of God.
“The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.” (Romans 8:7-8 NIV)
“Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.” (1 John 3:4 NIV)
“We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.” (1 John 2:3-4 NIV)
“Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” (John 14:21 NIV)
Tough…love…
