This We Believe: Exploring the Essential Texts of the Christian Faith

Jesus Fulfills the Civil Law

Season 4 Episode 13

What does it mean for Jesus to fulfill the law? Does this mean we no longer have to follow the Old Testament laws? How can we tell which laws we still have to follow and which ones we don’t?
This episode begins a three episode series on Matthew 5: 17-20: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished."
This episode addresses the fulfillment of the Old Testament laws known as the Civil Law.
