Misconception #4: Jesus did not come to destroy the Law!

When we preach that Grace is the end of the law, some 'learned' folks are quick to point out that Jesus himself said he did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it- Matthew 5:17! But, what did he mean? Understand that the Law had a purpose: Righteousness. But because of man's sin-nature he couldn't attain it! that's why Jesus came to fulfill the righteousness which the law should have accomplished and in his fulfilling it, he finished it. Paul explains in Romans 10:4 that Christ is the END of the LAW for Righteousness... Jesus couldn't have come to destroy the law for in destroying the law, he would have had to destroy the purpose: Righteousness. The Law has ended for that which it couldn't not do, God sending his son in flesh did- Romans 8:3! Glory to God, I am no longer Under the Law but under Grace! #Epignosis #GreaterGlory
