How do Christians know which Old Testament laws apply to them? Pastor John explains five ways Jesus shapes our approach to the Old Testament.
How does Jesus change our relationship to the Old Testament? It’s a question we get all the time. Here are two recent examples.
Micah in Buffalo, New York: “Hello, Pastor John! What role do the Ten Commandments play in the life and ministry of the New Testament church? If these commandments were part of God’s conditional covenant with the nation of Israel, which was broken, is there any abiding use of these commands in evangelism or moral instruction?”
Here’s another version of the question from a listener named Pat: “Pastor John, are there any helpful rules of thumb for interpreting which particular commandments in the Old Testament apply to Christians today, and why? For example, Leviticus 18–19 contain various commandments against sexual immorality and child sacrifice. I think it’s safe to say that most listeners of the show would agree that these commandments apply to the Christian today. However, the same chapters warn against wearing a garment that is made of two kinds of material (Leviticus 19:19), rounding off the hair on your temples (Leviticus 19:27), and forbidding tattoos (Leviticus 19:28). Are there any helpful ways to approach the Old Testament that would help make sense of these various commandments?”
Pastor John, how do you come at these questions like these from Micah and Pat?
