Why did Jesus unleash the Law?



There are many people who are still ignorant about the Laws of God, unable to divide properly whom the Law came for.

The Bible stated very clearly, God created the Law for the unrighteous. Everybody on this planet has a conscious Moral laws written on their conscience. Nobody is exempted from this.
They have to suppress this truth in order to live a different lifestyle other than what God has in mind a righteous lifestyle that is naturally to live by.

For the Believers, we are put under Grace and not the Law.

John 1:17 says the Law came through Moses BUT GRACE and TRUTH came through Jesus Christ.

According to John 1:17, Jesus did not come to give the Law, He came to dispense Grace and Truth. But if you read in the synoptic Gospels, Jesus DID unleash the Law many times and that many times it is of higher requirement, one that actually stop you in your track and make you think if you're able to.

If anyone is honest enough to admit, you'll know nobody can keep it perfectly or at least consistently perfectly. And yet the question remain why.

The Big Question.............. Why did Jesus unleash the Law?

You know, before I proceed to answer, I'll say this straight away, and I want you the reader to keep this in mind; The Law was never God's main agenda.
God started in the Old Testament with Grace and Ended in the New Testament with Grace. The Law crept in between. So back to the question why did Jesus unleash the Law?


The Answer is found in this passage Romans 7:21-25

21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

The purpose of the Law is designed to drive Man to the end of Himself. "Oh what wretched Man I am! Who will rescue me? (Romans 7:24)

Galatians 3:19 Says it very clearly in NIV ver:

Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator.


What Galatians 3:19 means is that the Law was given to show up your Sins. It was NOT designed to justify you. It Cannot. Only the Blood of Christ can.

So if you take the Sum Total of the verses in understanding why did God give the Law and Why Jesus unleashed the Law, you'll come to understand:

The Purpose of the Law is to help you understand you cannot by your own merits justify yourself to God. It is impossible. You need Christ the Saviour and that is GRACE dependant.

Just Check in the Bible and you'll find this to be true. Jesus unleashed the Law whenever anyone wants to come to God via the Law. Check the Parable of the Rich young Ruler, Check the Stoning of the Prostitute at the Temple, Check the Parables that Jesus spoke whenever He was surrounded by Crowd of Pharisees.

And Also Check this in the Bible, you'll find this to be true. Jesus unleashed Grace whenever anyone comes to Him and needed his Grace. Check the Lame Man carried by the 4 friends, Check the story of the Blind, The Leper, the Prostitutes. No Laws Given, Only Grace! Check Zacchaeus the tax collector!


So as a New Covenant believer, we need to be soaked in the Grace and Truth of our Lord Jesus Christ and not the Law else we will face a dead end.

God Bless.

That's really a nice old song.

We're playing this song over n over again in Calvary.

A God who cares.


Psalm 116:5-6

5 The Lord is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.

6 The Lord protects the unwary;
when I was brought low, he saved me.

The Laws of God cannot make you Holy

Romans 5:20 (NIV)

The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,


When we see Sin increases what do we do? Preach more on the Laws? That is like adding wood to the fire.

The more you emphasize on the Law, the more the Trespass increases!

What is antidote? The answer is right there in the same passage. GRACE!

Usually what most Christian girl/guy are concerned on being unequally yoked with non believers is to avoid family conflict/arguments due to religious culture & difference. Believe me It will happen. It's either from the couple or the parents.

If you have a very stout religious parents, you will have problem in having a blessed marriage. Don't think either parents will budge.

Unless you and your parents are okay with getting married under Christian ceremony and will not stop her from her faith and you are willing to be open to Christ, you may have chance.

From God's perspective why God disallowed this is because Marriage is a sacred matrimony. We believe when Man and Woman come together they become ONE in spirit.

Your potential life partner have God's own Spirit in her and If you're from another religion, we believe you have another spirit, there can be no union when both have different spirit of different religious background.

I'm sorry if I offended you but this is what I can explain.

It's not only about Marriage ceremony but a lot of other things. It's not about now, but the long term future.

Most couple are like that. Before marriage, everything also can one and everything okay one.

After marriage, it's a different story there will be requirements and expectations. Trust me.

Maybe it's not you could be her, maybe it could be you. People change as time goes by. Doesn't matter, Life is always a challenge.

Being of the same Faith does help a lot in marriage especially for Christians because we believe in God, we believe that prayer changes situation.

With only her as the believer when it should be both as husband and wife and the Man taking the lead as the Head of the House, there will be times she need you to believe with her...things like that.

Sometimes it's the parents. That is a big headache. When and If you have children.... Some parent insist to go to temple, Her parents will of course object, insist to go to Church ...things like that.

Jesus wasn't kidding when He said We will have tribulation in life.

Without God, not only marriage but like can also sucks

But if you and your hubby put Christ as the center and the head of your marriage, it can be like wine, gets better when it gets older.

Even sex.

You think the devil created sex?

God is the one who created sex and it's good because it's designed for married couples originally.

The Devil is the one who PERVERTED this and promote the opposite; make people think it's good OUTSIDE of marriage.

And the idea is that what is wrong has been replaced to self justify with the word "it's natural".

See where the world is today, n you'll understand.

Since when Sex is wrong in marriage?

What sort of Pastors are those?

oh no, Puritans; they pursue moral purity down to the smallest details something like what's that group call? Living in Isolation from the world.....
