THE LAW WAS NOT FOR GENTILES
Gentiles are
we, the people that are not Israelites. Israelites are called Jews. God gave
the law to Jews only and not the Gentiles. And when He gave them the law He
told them read exodus 19:5 but at the end of the day, they broke the law so they
lost their benefit. Now God has made a people unto Himself.
Ephesians
2:11-12
Romans 3:1-2
Psalm
147:19-20
Deuteronomy
4:7-8
So the law
was given to the nation of Israel and not to any other nation. And since the
other nations were not given the law, they had no business keeping it. In fact
the plan of God was that those who sinned without law should be judged without
the law and vice versa [Romans 2:12]
So even if
Deuteronomy 22:5 was part of the law, the gentiles have no business keeping it.
THE LAW HAS BEEN ABOLISHED
Ephesians
2:13-16
The law is
referred to as the enmity that separated the Jews and the Gentiles and it is
this same law Jesus came to abolish. The “abolish” means purge, eliminated, liquidate, eradicate, obliterate. It also means annul, remove, or cancel. Romans 6:14.
The law had
to be abolished for its ineffectiveness [Hebrews 7:18-19] the law made nothing
perfect [Galatians 2:16] the law is not made for a righteous man - [1Timothy
1:8-11], Romans 5:17, Romans 5:1.
REDEMPTION FROM THE CURES OF THE LAW FOR THE JEWS NOLY
Some people
say we have all been redeemed from the curse of the law who were the scriptures
actually referring to? The Gentiles, the Jews of both? Galatians 3:13
Those who
were redeemed obviously are those that were under the law. And Gentiles were
never under the curse of the law.
The Gentiles
were condemned by the presence of the law; they were not condemned by the law,
but by its presence. The very fact that God gave the law to the Jews meant He
had condemned the Gentiles in sin.
It meant
they were estranged from the covenant of promise alienated from the life of
God. The very fact that He [God] chose the Jews, meant He didn’t choose the
gentiles, just as He said Jacob have I coved, but Esau I hated [Romans 9:13]
The curse of
the law is a very specific term. So when he says Christ has redeemed us from
the course of the law, he is not talking about everybody but specifically about
the Jews. Paul was also a Jew thus why he uses “us’.
The Gentiles
were set free because the presence of the law condemned them; the abolishment
of the law removed the condemnation, putting both Jews and Gentiles on equal
grounds. Glory to God
Romans 3:19
Romans
3:22-23
The removed
of the curse of the law was thus beneficial to both; it liberated the Jews, and
made it possible for the gentiles to become partakers of the promise. Galatians
3:14
Oh
Hallelujah, the promise that was made so Abraham which also belongs to Christ
was planned to go beyond the Jewry.
The promise
now belongs to us who were formally called Gentiles. No wonder the Bible says
that there is neither Jew nor Gentiles. Once you belong to Christ you are
Abraham’s seed and heir according to the promise.
