2 Corinthians 3:7,
But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away..
Paul says, “The ministry of death.” Or “For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory1..”, but I hear brothers tell me, “No, the law was fulfilled.” I say yes it was, but we as believers are not called to fulfill it in the sense of keeping the Mosaic Law. He, Christ Jesus, fulfilled the law for the Jew (who never could fulfill or was called to fulfill) and abolished and annulled for the Gentile.
In the New Covenant, we serve in a new way of the Spirit of God. We live by His faith in and through us. His power is exercised in our and through a minds, hearts and lives, Gal. 2:20. We walk in the Spirit.
In my opinion, the brother or sister that feels we still need to fulfill the law or does not acknowledge Christ’s complete work of abolishing “that which was contrary to us and against us”, Col. 2:14, more than likely ‘keeps’ the law.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. Liberty from the guilt and power of sin. Liberty into who we truly are in Him.
