W 9 Dr. Foremaa •

We are free from the burden of guilt. We are free (or have a right to be) from anxiety and worry, and especially from the fear of death. But that is not the question we mean. To get down to brass tacks, our question is this: Is a Christian free from the law of God, especially from God’s law as made known to us in the Ten Commandments? The Question It An Old Ong The first Christians held their first great convention or conference to decide on this question. The way F the problem came up with them I was this: The first Christian 1 churches, you remember, wefe f made up almost exclusively of ‘ Jews. They were brought up on • their Scriptures, our Old Testg- ‘ ment, and they took it seriously ‘ as the Word of God. They found 1 in it not a mere Ten Command- • ments. but at least Six Hundred 3 Thirteen Commandments. It may • have been a chord to try to abide by all these laws spread out over pages and pages of Leviticus, Nume i bers and Deuteronomy. But there the laws were, and conscientious s ex-Jews who became Christians brought these laws right along with them. Now when Paul and Barnabas

went out on their evangelists tours, the started were made up, for Mb most part, of non-Jews, and most of those people knew nothing whatever about the Old Testament. The Jerusalem Christians kept Bending messengers to these new Gentile Christian groups, telling them they really were not Christians at all, they hadn’t been saved because they hadn't kept the law of God in every detail. The Gentile Christians said. Oh. but we are free from the law. The Jewish Christians said, No man is ever free from the law. So there at last had to be a great church meeting to decide who was right. There was a high debate, and finally an agreement. Scholars do not fully understand the terms of the agreement, which was sent out as a decree to all churches. But one thing is clear: the decision went against the Jerusalem church. The question really was: What do you have to do to be a Christian ? What, do you have to do to be saved? The Jerusalem church had been saying, You have to do a great deal to be saved. You have to be an avowed keeper of the Law before God will even consider saving you. But the apostles had a higher view. Essentially it was this: Every one who is saved, Is saved by grace—that is, by a free act of God’s loving will. Fret From Slavery; Freed To Servo The question was settled there In that great Council. But it kept coming up, and Paul had to write to the Romans and to the Galatians explaining it all over again. It comes up in our time in many ways. What do I have to do before God will come to my rescue (for that is what "save” means) ? There are two common wrong answers. One is that every single law in the Old testament is binding on each Christian. It is keeping these laws that saves us, really. In short, God saves us provided we are gofed snough. The other wrong answer is that God saves us regardless, and then since he has saved us we can go do as we please. We can’t possibly go wrong if we have been saved. The right answer Is always this: God saves us because he is good, not because we are; and having been saved, keeping his laws is then a joyous token of our gratitude. Freed from slavery. we are set free to serve. God’s grace can never be earned, it can only be
