Modern religion often disparages any concept of Biblical law or command. This is typically the result of misinterpretation of Scripture and a healthy dose of manmade theology. It is true that the Law of Moses has been fulfilled and replaced with a new, better covenant. But that does not mean Christians are under no law whatsoever. Christians now abide by the Law of Grace and Truth—the law of Christ. It is not “legalism” to adhere to Jesus’ commands.
Those who refuse to obey the King of Kings should listen to the words of an old prophet. In Zephaniah 3:4, Zephaniah condemns Jerusalem’s leaders, saying, “Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men; her priests profane what is holy; they do violence to the law.” Could the same be said of you or me? If we neglect God’s law and teach others they need not obey the Lord, we act violently against God’s Word! Such is unabashed rebellion. Don’t do violence to God’s Law—submit to His Word and regard Him as holy.
