Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets I am not come to destroy but to fulfill satisfy [the requirements of the Law] Colossians 2:14 For truly I say to you Till heaven and earth pass one yod or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be satisfied John 19:30 [1] Whosoever then shall break one of these least commandments and shall teach any so they shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven but whosoever shall do and teach them the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven [2]
[1] Matthew 5:17-18 Jesus said
he came to satisfy the requirements of the Law.
Paul wrote that these requirements were against us Colossians
2:14.
Jesus said he came to satisfy the requirements (pay the
debt), and he did with his death on the cross John 19:30.
[2] Matthew 5:19 Before the
cross, Jesus had not yet satisfied all the requirements of the Law John
19:30. Context: In Matthew 5:17-19 (and in Luke 16:17), he was
speaking from the position of still being under the Law. The
requirements/sin debt had not yet been paid when he said this.
To say that after the requirements were satisfied [the debt
was paid] at the Cross John 19:30, all are still required to observe
the Mosaic Law, misleads by taking this statement of Jesus out of context.
