Fulfilled
Matthew 5:17-18
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
Now in force
Hebrews 8:6
But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises.
Hebrews 10:9
Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second.
Demands righteousness
Luke 10:28
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
Give righteousness
John 1:17
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Makes imperfect
Hebrews 7:19
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
Isaiah 40:31
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Thought on this verse:
It is easy for us to live victoriously for the Lord when we soar on the wings of eagles. It can be exciting when we run and don't grow weary in the work of the Lord, buoyed by his power and presence. But it often takes heroes to keep walking and not faint when trying times come. Keep on walking brother and sister. The Lord is there when you most fear he has forgotten you!
