Murder
As we study the Word of God and His commands, people will try to tell us that they do not pertain to us and that we are just being self righteous, thinking we are better than others. God tells us:
Rom.3:20 Through the Law we become conscious of sin.
2Cor.3:6 The Letter kills but the Spirit gives life.
Col.2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy.
Ps.119:73 Give me understanding to learn Your commands.
John 1:17 The Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
We can NOT do away with the Law whether we accept the Commandments or not. They are written on the hearts of men.
Rom.2:14-15 Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.
Why do we need the Law since Christ died for all, and whoever believes on Him will be saved?
Matt.5:19 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.
Rom.3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so
that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
2Cor.7:1 Let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates the body and spirit.
