When we become obedient to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we will realize that the Law of the Old Covenant is Elementary. Do you go back and learn your A, B, Cs now that you are an adult? No, you learned the rules of reading your language when you went to first grade or before. It would bog you down if you were told; now before you read this newspaper, you must learn your A, B, Cs again. We would say that is foolishness! Yet so many in the body of Messiah today are teaching this exact thing spiritually.
We are to grow up in the Lord. A baby drinks milk because their body cannot digest solid food the first couple months of life. But if the baby does not get enough food, even at 3 months old, they will not sleep through the night, because of hunger. They start needing some solid food to satiate them very early. Spiritually we are the same way. We need that deep Holy Spirit`s revelation in our lives. It will cause us to want more of Yeshua and to fall in love with Yeshua like never before. Yeshua gave the people what they needed, NOT what they wanted to hear. He gave them unparalleled love and grace at every turn.
Yeshua said, "a new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. John 13:34
See, if you truly love others the way you are loved by the heavenly Father; you will go above and beyond fulfilling the Law. You will follow the new commandment. In Hebrews it speaks of a New and BETTER covenant. In Jeremiah it speaks of this New Covenant being written on our hearts. The Law CANNOT cause you to love, it only tells you what you are NOT to do. The Love of the Holy Spirit is the only thing that can make you truly Love your neighbor and others. We can say we love the Lord with ALL our heart, but, the evidence is in the way we act towards others. It`s not about our Love, but about His Love toward us. Then, because of His Love toward us, THEN we will love. Yeshua made it so simple! When we love the way Yeshua loved, the world will want what we have. They do not care right now because they do not see that love. They see law and they already have law in the world they live in, every day of their life.
Lord, today I ask that I would love others the way that you love me. I ask that I see those around me through your loving eyes.
I ask that I would hear your voice and become obedient to your promptings in my heart.
