People ask Fiveamprayer: Why do you mention the Torah so much?? Why are your posts always about the Torah?? Don't you believe in the New Testament??

We say to them.....

In Romans, Paul quoted from the Torah 84 times; In Hebrews, 83 times; In 1 Corinthians, 26 times; 2 Corinthians, 18 times; In Galatians, 14 times; In Ephesians, 12 times; In Philippians, 6 times; In Colossians, 3 times; In 1 Thessalonians, 1 time; In 2 Thessalonians, 7 times; In 1 Timothy 4 times , and in 2 Timothy, 9 times. Titus and Philemon are the two books that have no quotes from the Torah. Without the Torah, Paul would have nothing to write about.




1. LOVE GOD/THE MOST HIGH: “By this we know that we love the children of The Most High, when we love The Most High and keep His Commandments. FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. And His Commandments are NOT BURDENSOME” 1 John 5:2-3


2. LAW WRITTEN ON OUR HEARTS: "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin." Hebrews 10:16-18

3. HIS GRACE: The Most High's grace enables us to keep His Commandments, "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do them.” Ezekiel 36:26-27

Shema Selah  we are to use the law, lawfully!!!
