The Governing of Christ
Deuteronomy 34: 8, 9
The children of Israel hearkened unto Moses, and did as the LORD commanded Moses. When the LORD revealed through Moses that Joshua was the only one who would deliver them into the land of promise then the children obeyed the LORD, obeyed the whole word of God, by looking only to Joshua to lead them. They were no longer under the rule of Moses, but under the rule of Joshua. They no longer looked to Moses but only to Joshua.
So it is when the LORD God through the preaching of the gospel reveals Christ in each of his children. Believers obey God and establish every word of the law and the prophets, through faith in Christ Jesus our King, our Life, our Righteousness (1 Cor 9:21.) (Gal 4: 6-7; Rom 3: 21). Those born of the Spirit of God pass from under the rule of the law to the direct leadership of Jesus Christ whose Spirit dwells in us (Gal 3: 23-25). If ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law (Gal 5: 18; 4: 7-9). Clay Curtis.
