Good Places to Start is in the Gospels...for it is the LIGHT of the OLD Testament which is the Shadow of the New Testament...
The Law is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy; It is good and it will prolong thy days and by heeding to them you gain Benefits...
Psalm 103:2
Bless the LORD O my SOUL and FORGET NOT ALL HIS benefits...such as...
Psalm 138:8 ...He will PERFECT ALL CONCERNING YOU...
HENCE Why Jesus Christ came to give us LIFE MORE ABUNDANT...Also when He was born full of the HOLY GHOST... as Stated in
Luke 1:15-17
For HE SHALL BE GREAT in the sight of the Lord, and SHALL DRINK NEITHER wine nor strong drink; and HE SHALL BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, even from his mother's womb.
See it is clear it states "HE SHALL" so as HE grew as a man He became greater and greater, and would fulfill the purpose...It was NOT easy...BUT HE DID IT...for Us today not just them it is and was forever...God was robed in Flesh and that is why WE celebrate Christ the Coming of OUR SAVIOR...HE BROUGHT GOOD TIDING TO ALL...
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to TURN THE HEARTS of the fathers to the children, and the DISOBEDIENT to the WISDOM AND TO THE JUST; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Christmas is the Celebration of ABUNDANT LIFE.
For life would never be the same once HE walked upon this earth as a Man...
JOHN 14:15 "IF YE LOVE ME keep My Commandments."
**Yes, those books are the LAW, and it goes through all the sacrifices as well, which is done away with Through JESUS CHRIST because HE became the LAMB of GOD...You Get the HOLY GHOST, and the Epistles is HOW TO KEEP THE HOLY GHOST thereafter. IT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR YOU TO SACRIFICE THE LAMB, OXEN, ETC. The New Testament does not CONTRADICT but it fulfills the OLD TESTAMENT...for it is the Law of ROYAL LOVE...how can you possibly have royal love if you don't know it, NOR see it. Yes, that is why the our pour of the HOLY Ghost because JESUS CHRIST became the LAMB for the ALL THE sin of the World on the CROSS at EASTER...You can live under the LAW still, but JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY NAME THAT CAN save given among men UNDER HEAVEN.
No I see through the eyes of GRACE and for the Good of the LORD is far far more peaceful. A heart is heavy oh LOOK UP and cry out to JESUS CHRIST from your HEART and repent and abstain from what HE abhors...READ HIS WORD for in them YOU FIND LIFE!!!
