The Christian and Old Testament Law

Thabiti Anyabwile answers this important question: “How should a Christian relate to Old Testament laws?”

There is a ton to say here and books have been written on this subject, but I think his brief response below. Read the short article to see his answers fleshed out. This is crucial information for understanding how to read the Bible. He writes:

We should relate to Old Testament laws like Christians! That is to say, we relate to the Law in a few ways:

1. Acknowledging that Christ has fulfilled the Law for us.

2. Remembering we are not antinomians (lawless people with no moral code).

3. Using the Law evangelistically.
