More On The Commandments

Is the law only binding on the Jews?
Rom 2:11 for there is no respect of persons with God.
Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned under law shall be judged by law;

What did the Apostle Paul have to say about the commandments?
Rom 2:13 for not the hearers of a law are just before God, but the doers of a law shall be justified:

The Law gives us knowledge of what sin is.
1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Law not voided by faith
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Is the Law evil?
Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
The law is spiritual. Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

A Royal Law:
Jam 2:8 If ye fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:
Jam 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
Jam 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Jam 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

To know Christ we must keep the commandments.
1Jo 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Grace is not a license to sin.
Heb 10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
