THE TEN COMMANDMENTS KILLS Why I say this is because you know the day the Ten Commandments were given 3,000 people were killed at the foot of Mount Sinai. But on the Day of the Pentecost 3,000 people were saved. The interesting fact is the Ten Commandments were given also on the Day of Pentecost. The Jews celebrate this day even today as the day when god gave the Ten Commandments but for us it is the Day of Pentecost. It is the birthday of the church when God gave us the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately there are many believers today still rejoicing in Ten Commandments instead of rejoicing in the new covenant, not realizing the law kills while the spirit gives life. People think by preaching Ten Commandments we create holiness. When people sin law is preached more. But you know in 1 Corinthians 15:56 says: “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.” Romans 6: 14 says: “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” The power to overcome sin is actually found in being under grace and not reinforcing the law. Preaching more of the law to counteract sin is like adding wood to fire. God himself found fault with the first covenant. Hebrews 8:7 says: “For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.” He sent Jesus as our Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises (Hebrews 8:6). The new covenant of grace is more glorious than the ministry of death, for it is not dependent on us but completely dependent on Jesus who CANNOT FAIL! Hebrews 8:13 says: “In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete.” In other words with the advent of grace the Ten Commandments Have been made obsolete. We are no longer under the ministry of death, but under the ministry of Jesus which brings life. Colossians 2:14 and 15 says: Having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” Amen so I would say KNOWING YOU ARE COMPLETELY FORGIVEN DESTROYS THE POWER OF SIN IN YOUR LIFE. SO WALK IN HIS GRACE.
