The World to Come program is presented by David C. Pack, Pastor General of The Restored
Church of God.
In a vital 2-part series titled Were the 10
Commandments “Done Away”?, Mr. Pack addresses the popular belief that Christians today are
no longer required to keep God's Law.
In Part 1, he dispels common misconceptions
surrounding this subject, and shows that the Bible is clear about whether law-keeping is
necessary.
Most professing Christians—ministers and
lay members—insist the 10 Commandments are done away—that they are no longer binding
on Christians.
Repeating what they have heard without seeking proof, they call God’s Law Moses’ law,
and claim it was abolished by Jesus’ sacrifice.
So many millions have no idea the difference between the law of Moses and the Law of God.
Ignorance and an attempt to minimize the 10 Commandments as only required for a limited
time, have caused most to believe these laws did not exist before Moses received them at
Sinai or after Christ died.
Is this true?
Is this what the Bible teaches?
What verses can be examined so you can know?
This broadcast presents the truth.
All the Commandments were in force millennia before they were given to Israel at Sinai.
It is easy to prove they date from Creation.
The 10 Commandments were never part of Moses’ law—or the Levitical sacrificial system.
But the civil laws and sacrifices were based on God’s commands.
Thus, the Commandments precede and transcend any and every lesser law or practice based
upon them—statutes, judgments, precepts and ordinances.
The 10 Commandments are God’s spiritual laws.
And they are no less active than the laws of gravity and inertia.
Just as breaking physical laws carries physical consequences, breaking spiritual laws brings
spiritual consequences.
“The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good…for we know that the
law is spiritual…”
Ask: Does Paul’s description here of the Law—inspired by God—sound like it has
been done away—that obedience to it is now obsolete?
In the second part, Mr. Pack brings additional
scriptural evidence proving that God's Law is still in effect.
This is Part 2 examining the 10 Commandments.
We saw Christ did not do away with them at His Crucifixion.
We saw all 10 are taught in the New Testament, and that God expects all people to obey them.
We began understanding the awesome significance of faithfully observing what is God’s Law—and
what the apostle Paul called “holy, just, good” and “spiritual.”
We saw the 10 C were separate from Moses’ law.
But there is more to learn.
For instance, what is the NT teaching on “law and grace”?
Is it one or the other—law or grace—or law and grace?
And what else does the Bible teach about sin?
Whether one is to obey the 10 Commandments is a subject of great controversy.
It has left many confused.
But this need not be.
Though somewhat technical, you will find this subject fascinating—and eye-opening.
Follow carefully all that is covered because no one else is telling you about it.
Here is the Bible’s plain teaching about the Law of God!
