The law will end when God dies

The law will end when God dies     

John 12:50 And I know that His command is everlasting life.

God is eternal life.  He loves His creation and wants them to enjoy the life He created for them.  God knows the best thing for them, their highest good, is Himself in them.  The only way they can enjoy life is in His presence the only way into God the Father's presence is through the Son.  His presence is the way of life and by staying in His presence, we stay alive.
 (Luke 10:22)  All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."
 We receive the Presence of God, as we are born-again from above. (John 3:3)

 To leave His presence is to die.  God gives life and life continues as we abide with and in Him. We can understand the boundaries of life by the law. (Romans 7:12)  Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. The law reflects God’s character.  The law is designed to keep, preserve, shelter, and maintain life.  Outside the law is death, inside the law is life. 
(Matthew 7:14)  Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Outlaws are outside the law.  Rebels are outside the law. Witchcraft is rebellion. Outlaws or rebels are earning death as they are in rebellion to the life of Spirit and life.

 Deuteronomy  30:20)  that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."

 Hosea 9:17 My God will cast them away, Because they did not obey Him; And they shall be wanderers among the nations.

 Deuteronomy 32:46-47 and he said to them: "Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe—all the words of this law. For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess."

 The bottom line of the law is: do this and live you and your children to the third and fourth generation.  Deuteronomy 28 lists the curses, which have been upon the Hebrews for over three thousand millennium because of one reason and one reason only. Disobedience.  The door to life is marked BELIEVE and OBEY, there is no other way. 

 When my daughter was young, I would tell her we have rules to keep us safe and happy.  Obedience preserves us, disobedience brought reprove and correction.

 My sheep hear my voice. (John 10:27)  (Matthew 12:50)  For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother."

Isaiah 48:16-18 “Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; From the time that it was, I was there. And now the Lord GOD and His Spirit Have sent Me." Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.  Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

  John 6:63   The Spirit gives life the flesh counts for nothing, my words are Spirit and they are life. The Law does not give life but all life proceeds from the Spirit (eternal life) who gives us both life and the Law. And preserves us as we live within the boundaries of the law.. 

As we abide in God's commandments, they keep us in His Presence.  His Presence is life.  His Presence preserves us.

Exodus 33:14-16 And He said, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."   Then he (Moses) said to Him, "If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.  For how then will it be known that Your people and I hand I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth." God created the Hebrew people to reveal Himself to humanity and through the Ten Commandments to make humanity know how they must come into God's presence.

1Jn 2:17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Mat 5:17-18 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.  For assuredly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law until all is fulfilled.The heaven and earth, which passed away, was the Jewish age.  The end of that age was predicted by Ezekiel with particular emphasis on where God is speaking and says 'I will” seven times.

Ezekiel 36:26-28  Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.  I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.  I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them

Two thousand years ago the new heavens and new earth were inaugurated.   Hebrew 12:24-28, Rev 21:1-3.  Brought into existence at the appointed time, a new age, filled with a new heaven, a new earth a new creation, a new humanity, a new Jerusalem with a new temple, the church.

Christians are the Word made flesh in every generation.  Christians are God's presence on the earth.  Not by men will but by God's will.  His purpose was His presence in them.  His Bride with His children.  His dwelling place inside them giving them the desire and the ability to do His will, to abide in His Presence. Thus receiving glory from them and renewing the earth with His holy presence. Philippians 2:13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.


Deuteronomy 32:45-47 Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel, and he said to them: "Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe—all the words of this law. For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess."

Deuteronomy 30:19-20  I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;  that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.

John 15:10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

To cling to God is to abide in God. To abide in God is to obey His commandments.  John 14:21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.

God reveals Himself to those who cling to Him who walk in the light just as He is light.  The Presence of God in us gives us the desire and the ability to obey Him.  His law is not a burden rather it is a delight because where He is His law is. His law is life.

Proverb 13:15 Good understanding gives favor; But the way of the transgressor is hard.

Mat 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Psalms 36:7-9 How precious is Your loving kindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.  For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.

Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

1Samuel 15:22-23  So Samuel said: "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king

Psalms 40:8 I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart."

Psalms 119:47 And I will delight myself in Your commandments, Which I love.

 Psalms 119:77 Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; For Your law is my delight.

Psalms 119:89 Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven.

Psalms 119:92-93 Unless Your law had been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction. I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have given me life
(Romans 8:2)  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Rev 22:14 blessed are those who do His commandments that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
The law is an expression of God's holy nature, giving us the law keeping those who abide with Him safe and happy.
Deuteronomy 29:29 the secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do (obey) all the words of this law.
Who alone can give life? The Father and the Son. Where is the Father? In heaven. How can I get the father and son can give life because they are life.
God knows the best thing for humanity is Himself who is alone eternal life. Man can only enjoy all God would have for him only by dwelling in His presence. We remain in His presence only by obedience. God who is eternal life alone gives life by His words. His words are spirit and life.
( Psalms 119:105)  Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path
 (Proverbs 6:23)  For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the love of sin and death.
God’s law keep us safe and eternally happy in His presence.
