Definition
Law refers to the covenantal system of commandments and ordinances governing Israel within the biblical age.
Context
The law functioned as a mediator of covenantal standing. It defined transgression and structured temple-based sacrifice. Within the Yeshuan framework, the law’s covenantal authority concluded with the fulfillment of the age it governed.
The moral insights contained within the law may still inform ethical reflection, but the law no longer functions as a binding covenantal mechanism.
Implications
Transposing Old Covenant law into the present age creates theological confusion. It sustains condemnation and institutional authority structures that the fulfilled perspective considers concluded.
Faith shifts from legal compliance to relational orientation.
Common Misunderstanding
Critiquing covenantal law is sometimes interpreted as rejecting moral order. The Yeshuan Model distinguishes between covenantal structure and ethical reflection grounded in love.
