Jesus Our Hope! Because Jesus did away with the Law of Moses and replaced it with a better way, none of the Old Testament commandments or laws, including the Ten Commandments, applies to us today. It is the law of love and liberty (made perfect by Jesus' sacrifice) that was revealed by Christ and His apostles in the New Testament which we, today, are to obey. (James 1: 25). It is by our obedience to God's will through our faith in Christ that puts us into the body of Christ, His church, and makes us acceptable to God. For details about obedience and its need and how to be pleasing to Christ, study the message , "The Importance of Obedience", and "What Must I Do To Be Saved?".
