The Law of the Old Testament - DB

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. Matt. 5:17

The first five book of the Bible or known as the Books of the Law. In Hebrew, they are known as the Torah. Jesus did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it. In His life and in His death He fulfilled every requirement of the Law.

He also filled the law with meaning and purpose. He did not focus on outward shows of piety, but on the condition of the heart. He showed us that the law was not a cold tablet of stone, but a warm heart of love.
