Rom 13:8 ... For he who loves his fellow man has fulfilled the Torah. Rom 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the good news of Messiah, for it is the power of Elohim to salvation to everyone believing, both to Jew first, and to the Aramean; for in it the righteousness of Elohim is revealed from faith to faith; even as it has been written, "But the just shall live by faith." ° Rom 2:13 For not the hearers of the Torah are righteous with Elohim, but the doers of the Torah shall be justified†. ~ The standard of ones judgment is the Torah and it's the basis for righteousness. Psalms 119:172 Rom 2:29 but he is a Jew that is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not literally; of whom the praise is not from men, but from Elohim†. ~ Circumcision is the sign of the Old Covenant, but baptism (full immersion) is the sign of the New Covenant. Rom 3:20-28 Because by works of the Torah not one of all flesh will be justified before Him, for through the Torah is the full knowledge of sin. ~ † verse 27 Since every human being's deeds have been sinful in nature and punishable by death, no human can claim eternal life by his deeds but only by having faith in Yahshua who has paid the death penalty for the unrighteous deeds of those who accept it and repent. Rom 3:31 Do we then nullify the Torah by faith? Far be it. On the contrary, we establish the Torah†! ~ † In all of Paul's epistles the argument is never whether one should obey the Torah. The argument is how do we get justified before YHWH? Is it through the sacrificial system with ceremonial functions or is it strictly through the blood of Yahshua? The Torah sanctifies a believer after he is justified and teaches him right from wrong. Obedience is the evidence of one's faith. Rom 5:1-2 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with Elohim through our Master Yahshua Messiah, through whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we glory on the hope of the glory of Elohim. Rom 5:8-11 but Elohim commends His love to us in this that we being yet sinners, Messiah died for us. Much more then, being justified now by His blood, we shall be delivered from wrath through Him. For if while being enemies we were reconciled to Elohim through the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life†; and not only so, but also glorying in YAHWEH through our Master Yahshua Messiah, through whom we now received the atonement. ~ † verse 10 The penalty of our sins is forgiven though Yahshua's death but we are saved through His life. Rom 6:1-4 What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin† that grace may abound? Let it not be! We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it? Or are you ignorant that all who were baptized into Messiah Yahshua were baptized into His death? Therefore, we were buried with Him through baptism into death that as Messiah was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life. ~ † verse 1 Sin is the breaking of the Torah (1John 3:4) Rom 6:15-16 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the penalty of the Torah, but under grace? Let it not be! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves to whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or obedience to righteousness†? ~ † (Colossians 2:11-14) Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of YAHWEH is everlasting life in Yahshua, Messiah our Master. ~ † Sin still brings death Rom 7:1 Do you not know, brethren, (for I speak to them who know the Torah), that the Torah has authority over a person for as long as he lives? Rom 7:6 But now we have been set free from the penalty of the Torah, having died to that in which we were held, so as for us to serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter. Rom 7:12 So indeed the Torah is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good†. ~ † The problem was never with the perfect Torah of Yahweh, but the inability of the people to keep it, (Hebrews 8:8) as it can teach you right from wrong but it doesn't change the heart; only the Holy Spirit can do this. Rom 7:14 For we know that the Torah is spiritual, but I am fleshly, having been sold under sin. Rom 7:21-25 I find therefore that the Torah agrees with my conscience, when I desire to do good, but evil is always near, distracting me. For I delight in the Torah of Elohim according to the inward man; but I see another law in my members having warred against the law of my mind, and taking me captive by the law of sin being in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this mortal body? I thank YAHWEH through Yahshua Messiah our Master! So then I myself with the mind truly serve the Torah of Elohim and with the flesh the law of sin. Rom 8:1-4 There is therefore now no condemnation to those in Yahshua Messiah, who do not walk according to flesh, but according to Spirit. For the Law of the Spirit of life which is in Yahshua Messiah set me free from the law of sin and of death. For the Torah being powerless†, in that it was weak through the flesh, Elohim sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh, so that the righteous demand of the Torah might be fulfilled in us, those not walking according to flesh, but according to Spirit. ~ † The Torah was powerless because it can teach you right from wrong (Psalms 119:105) but it can't change the heart, only the Holy Spirit can do that. Rom 8:6-7 To be carnally minded is death†, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace; because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Elohim; for it is not subject to the Torah of Elohim, for it is not possible to be so†. ~ † verse 6 (Romans 6:23, Ezekiel 18:4) ~ † verse 7 Whoever rejects the Torah cannot have the spirit of YHWH. Rom 8:9-11 But you are not in flesh, but in Spirit, since the Spirit of YAHWEH dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of Messiah†, this one does not belong to Him. But if Messiah is in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of the One having raised Yahshua from the dead dwells in you, the One having raised the Messiah from the dead will also make your mortal bodies live through the indwelling of His Spirit in you. ~ † verse 9 There is one spirit, so the spirit of YHWH is the same as the spirit of Messiah. Rom 10:4 For Messiah is the goal† of the Torah for righteousness to everyone that believes. ~ † Many translations wrongly translate this word as 'end' bringing the false belief that the Torah is somehow ended. However, both in Aramaic and even Greek the word means “goal” or “end result”, and is showing that to the true believer “Yahshua is the goal” in how we should strive to be as He kept the Torah perfectly. Rom 13:8-10 Owe no one, anything, except the continuing debt to love one another. For he who loves his fellow man has fulfilled the Torah. For, "Do not commit adultery," "do not murder," "do not steal," "do not bear false witness," "do not lust," and if there is any other commandment, in this word it is summed up, in the words, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself†." Love does not work evil to the neighbor. Then love is the fulfillment of Torah. ~ † verse 9 Many under the false grace try to purport that this golden rule replaces the Torah when in fact it is written in the Torah (Leveticus 19:18). Paul’s whole point is that every law written in the Torah is to show love, either to YHWH or our fellow man. (Exodus 20:13-15; Exodus 20:17) Gal 3:10-11 For those who rely on the works of the law are still under the curse, for as it is written, cursed is everyone who does not practice everything which is written in the book of the Torah. And that no one is justified by the Torah before YAHWEH is evident because, "The righteous shall live by faith†. ~ † verse 11 No one can be justified by the Torah because all humans have broken the Torah and are under the penalty of their lawbreaking. (Habakkuk 2:4) Gal 3:13 Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the Torah, having become a curse for us; for it has been written, "Cursed is everyone having been hung on a tree;" ~ † The curse is for disobeying the Torah, there are only blessings for obedience. Gal 3:19 Why then the Law? It was placed beside (The Torah) for the sake of transgressions, until the Seed should come, to whom it had been promised, being given by promise in a mediator's hand†. ~ † Paul cannot possibly be talking about the whole Torah here, as he plainly states that whatever law was added, that it was not there 430 years previously when YAHWEH made covenant with Abraham, but Gen_26:4-5 clearly shows that the reason YAHWEH made covenant with Abraham was because Abraham obeyed and preserved His statutes, commandments, and Torah. The only law that was added to the Torah at Mount Sinai was the Levitical priesthood with its sacrifices, which was temporarily set next to the Torah for the Levitical priesthood to be a temporary mediator for Israel until the reality of the Melchizedek priesthood would come through Yahshua. The Levitical sacrifices could not take away the penalty of sin, but merely remind them of it. (Hebrews 10:1-4) Gal 3:24-27 So that the Law has become a trainer of us until Messiah, that we might be justified by faith†. But since faith has come, we are no longer under trainers†; for you are all sons of YAHWEH through faith in Messiah Yahshua. For as many as were baptized into Messiah, you put† on Messiah. ~ † verse 24 The Levitical law was added due to the sin of Israel and the golden calf, but was only a trainer to Israel to remind them daily of their sinful nature until Messiah would appear and replace the temporary Levitical order with the eternal order of Melchizedek. ~ † verse 25 Paul is using a play on words here in the Aramaic for tutor “taraa”, contrasting that although the Torah is still binding and necessary for the New Covenant believer, that the oral traditions of the Pharisees was not. ~ † verse 27 An Aramaic idiom also used in Ephesians 6:14. (Isaiah 59:17) Heb 7:11 If, therefore, perfection had been reached by the Levitical priesthood, by which the Torah was enacted for the people; what further need was there for another priest to rise after the order of Melchizedek? Otherwise the scriptures would have said that He would be after the order of Aaron†. ~ † Clearly as verse 19 will show the Levitical order with the added ceremonial law and sacrifices was simply a bridge to get the nation of Israel from Mount Sinai until the Messiah would come. Heb 7:14-17 For it is evident that our Master has risen out of Judah, as to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. And it is still more abundantly clear because He said that another priest would arise according to the order of Melchizedek, who has not become so according to a law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of life which abides forever. For it is testified, "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek†." ~ † verse 17 This verse again shows that Melchizedek can only be Yahshua as no other being except YHWH is eternal and immortal (1Timothy 6:16, Psalms 110:4) Heb 7:24-25 but this one, because He is immortal, has the priesthood which remains forever†. And from this He is able to save forever those who come to Elohim through Him, because He lives forever to intercede on their behalf†. ~ † verse 24 This can only be Yahshua who bears the title of “Melchizedek” meaning “King of Righteousness” as there is only one High Priest. ~ † verse 25 There is no need for a second high priest as the the first one is eternal. Heb 8:10 Because this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says YAHWEH, I will put My Torah into their mind, and I will inscribe it on their hearts, and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people." Heb 9:24 For Messiah did not enter into the Holy of Holies made by hands, which is a symbol of the true one, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of YAHWEH on our behalf, Heb 9:28 so Messiah having been once offered "to bear the sins of many," Messiah shall appear a second time without our sins for the salvation of those who are waiting for Him†. ~ † Messiah already came to pay the penalty of sin to those who will accept it, but the second coming is about judging the world for their lack of repentance since His first coming and rewarding those who have followed His commands. (John 14:1-3, Isaiah 61:1-2, Isaiah 53:12) Psa 119:97 Oh how I love Your Torah! It is my meditation all the day.
