Literal Law- External Spiritual Law- Internal
Written in the two tablet of stone (Must be) Written in our Heart
The Bible said, “The law written in their hearts…Rom 2:15
But the reality is, almost every people (including those persons professing
Christians) could not name all of the Ten Commandments!
There are approximately 280 million people in the United States. In a

recent survey it was found that less than 1 percent of adults and teenagers
could name all of The Ten Commandments! (The Ten Commandments Project)
And in the Philippines, it is a sad reality. Our country, being called as the
only Christian country in Asia, the Ten Commandments were not written in
the hearts (and in the minds) of the vast majority of professing Christians.
Transgressions of the Law are rampant in the streets, homes, schools,

places of work and particularly in the government and even in the Church!
The Church Ignores the Law!

This Shouldn’t Be!!!
“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”. (Mat 5:17)
“I tell you the truth, 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”. (Mat 5:18)
“Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and

teaches others to do the same 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”. (Mat 5:19)
“For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the
Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the
kingdom of heaven” (Mat 5:20)
And now I will show you the most excellent way. 1 Cor 12:31NIV

Matt 5:20
The “literal law” brings death
(2 Cor 3:6)
But the
“Spiritual Law” gives life

(Jn 6:63) (Law and Word are intertwined)
Psa 19:7-11 God’s Law does the following:
1) converts the soul

2) makes wise the simple
3) makes the heart rejoice
4) enlightens the eyes
5) produces the fear of the Lord
6) reveals God’s true and righteous judgments
7) is more to be desired than gold
8) is sweeter than honey
9) warns us of God’s wrath
10) provides a great reward.

We can perform our duty to God (the 1st to the 4th commandment) through love by not rejoicing with sin. Sin is hatred toward God.
We can perform our duty to our neighbors (the 5 th to the 10 th commandment) through love by being always patient and kind to them,
by not envious on them, by not being boastful (a form of lying), by not becoming rude to them, by not becoming selfish, and by not
being happy with evil.
What is Law?
I Love does not delight in evil I You shall have no other gods before me.

•We are not under the (literal) Law Spiritual Law

Law of God •We are under the (Spiritual) Law Internal- written
Deut 5:7-21 •We must surpass both Law (literal & Spiritual) in our Heart
•By surpassing both Law, we put ourselves under Rom 2:15; Rom
the Law of Christ which is the Law of Love 7:14
•The Law of God, which is the Ten Commandments
given to Moses, can be sum up one and the same
with the Law of Christ which is the Law of Love.
•By keeping the Ten Commandments, we love God
and we have the Love of God
•Hence, We are still under the Law
Surpass the
Law of Christ
Gal 6:2
Law
Matt 5:19-20
Law of Love
John 13:34
Law and Love are Inseparable 1 Cor 13:4-6

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he
that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. (Rom 13:8)
For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt

not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false
witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other
commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying,
namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (Rom
13:9)
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is

the fulfilling of the law. (Rom 13:10)
Who or what is God?

According to 1 John 4:8, God is Love
What is Love?
According to 1 Cor 13:4-6, Love is always patient, Love is always kind, Love
is never envious Or vaunted up with pride. Nor is she conceited, And never is
she rude, Never does she think of self Or ever get annoyed. She never is
resentful, Is never glad with sin, But always glad to side with truth, Whene'er
the truth should win.
Therefore, the above scriptures are the perfect description of who God is and a
perfect portrait of the Love of God.
God delights in his law!

Prov 8:22-30; John 1:1-3
Therefore the Law is still binding, has a great
relevance until today and it is the standard of
our Christian living because the Law is all
about Love and Love is all about the Law.
Therefore, We are under the Law! Under the

Law of Love! The Law, which is the Ten
Commandments, is actually the Ten
Commandments of Love.
By this we know that 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 grievous. (1Jn 5:2,3)
The one and only excellent way and exact way for us to have the “Love
of God” and manifest that kind of love is through the Law!
There is no other way except (surpass) the Law!
But eagerly desire the greater gifts.

And now I will show you the most excellent way.
1 Cor 12:31NIV
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of
these is love. 1 Cor 13:13 NIV
Follow the way of (surpassing the Law) love …1 Cor 14:1 NIV
The “Love of God” is the greatest gift we can possess. We can have it
now, because it is already given by God through His Son. And we can
manifest the love of God through the Ten Commandments which the
Lord Jesus did not abolished.
"We must not imagine that the coming of Christ has freed us from the authority of the law: for it is the eternal
rule of a devout and holy life, and must, therefore, be as unchangeable, as the justice of God, which it embraced,
is constant and uniform." John Calvin
"The moral law contained in the Ten Commandments, and enforced by the prophets, He (Christ) did not take
away. It was not the design of His coming to revoke any part of this. This is a law which never can be
broken...Every part of this law must remain in force upon all mankind and in all ages; as not depending either on
time or place, or any other circumstances liable to change, but on the nature of God and the nature of man, and
their unchangeable relation to each other.“ John Wesley
"The law of God is a divine law, holy, heavenly, perfect. Those who find fault with the law, or in the least degree
depreciate it, do not understand its design, and have no right idea of the law itself…No human lawgiver could
have given forth such a law as that which we find in the decalogue. It is a perfect law." C.H. Spurgeon
“In order to our happiness here and for ever, it is not enough for us to know the commandments of God, but we
must keep them, keep in them as our way, keep to them as our rule, keep them as our treasure, and with care, as
the apple of our eye”. Matthew Henry
"Now men may cavil as much as they like about other parts of the Bible, but I never met an honest man that
found fault with the Ten Commandments.” D.L. Moody
"How many kinds of laws did God give in the Old Testament? Three kinds:
I. The ceremonial church law; 2. The civil law; 3. The moral law. Which of these laws is still in force? The
moral law, which is contained in the Ten Commandments. Cannot this law be abolished? No; because it is
founded on God's holy and righteous nature.” Martin Luther
Apostle Paul
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the
law. (Rom 3:31)
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
(Rom 7:12)
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but obeying God's
commandments is everything. (1Co 7:19)
Apostle James
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he
being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed
in his deed. (Jas 1:25)
Apostle John
For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments; and his
commandments are not difficult, (1Jn 5:3)
What is the biblical definition of sin?
Sin is the transgression of the law. (1Jn 3:4)
All possible sin a man can do are all cover by

the Ten Commandments and a direct
transgression of the law.
The Ten Commandments in the New Testament – The Law of Christ which is the Law of Love
