Should Christians Today Obey the Old Testament Laws?

From the Show

Are Christians under the 10 Commandments today?

In the gospel, we’re told not only that Christ lived and died for us but that he rose again for us and that we are baptized into his victory over sin’s guilt and tyranny. And he sent his Holy Spirit to us to give us a new heart and to unite us to Christ through faith, which itself is his gift. So we’re not under the law as a way of being saved. It can’t condemn us. “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Rom 8:1). — Michael Horton
