Answer 11

1) See the Old Testament Law as God’s fully inspired word.

3) Don’t see the O.T. Law as binding on you or anyone else in the New Covenant, except where a principal or command has been specifically renewed in the New Testament.
4) Since Christ fully obeyed and fulfilled the Law, and since we receive his righteousness (imputed to us) when we repent, then God sees us covered with the righteousness of Christ who perfectly fulfilled the O.T Law.
