massey on the X

Matt Massey has been speaking on the Ten Commandments these past few weeks. He offers some pretty good perspective.
  • The commandments let us know we cannot do it on our own. We need God.
  • The commandments have not been given as a condition of God's love/acceptance but rather as a confirmation of this.
  • The commandments have not been given to hinder us or to make us good but they have been given to set us free.

We now have the commandments written in our hearts not the tables of stone. They are part of the law which brings us to Christ but when we are in the covenant of the Spirit they have no place in the church in that context(ten commandments).

The love of Christ constrains us.
