ACCESS GRANTED: The Law Still Stands
The Question Is No Longer Opinion
At this point in the series, the foundation has been laid.
The structure has been revealed.
The covenant has been established.
The law has been defined.
Character has been examined.
Now the question becomes unavoidable:
Will you align with the standard…
or reject it?
Because the outcome is not based on opinion.
It is based on obedience.
The First Deception: “The Law Is Done Away With”
Many have been taught that the law no longer applies.
That grace removed it.
That faith replaced it.
That obedience is no longer required.
But Scripture does not support this.
Messiah said plainly:
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”
— Matthew 5:17
And to remove all confusion:
“Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law…”
— Matthew 5:18
Heaven and earth remain.
So the law remains.
Fulfillment Is Not Abolishment
To “fulfil” does not mean to eliminate.
It means to:
• complete properly
• establish fully
• walk it out correctly
Messiah did not come to remove the law.
He came to demonstrate it perfectly.
Faith Establishes the Law
The apostles confirmed the same truth.
“Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.”
— Romans 3:31
Faith does not cancel the standard.
Faith confirms it.
The Law Defines Sin
Without law, sin cannot exist.
“By the law is the knowledge of sin.”
— Romans 3:20
And:
“Sin is the transgression of the law.”
— 1 John 3:4
If the law were removed:
• sin would have no definition
• righteousness would have no standard
• judgment would have no basis
But Scripture continues to define sin.
Which means the law still stands.
Love Is Not Words—It Is Obedience
Many claim love for the Most High while rejecting His commandments.
But Scripture defines love clearly:
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments…”
— 1 John 5:3
And Messiah confirms:
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
— John 14:15
Love is not emotional language.
It is obedience in action.
The Commandments Identify the Faithful
Scripture does not describe the faithful as those who only believe.
It describes them as those who obey.
“Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
— Revelation 14:12
Not one or the other.
Both.
Faith and obedience are not separate.
Access Is Tied to Obedience
This is where the message becomes direct.
“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
— Revelation 22:14
Read that carefully.
👉 Doing the commandments
👉 Gives right of entry
This is not symbolic.
This is access control.
The Law Is Holy, Just, and Good
The law itself was never flawed.
“Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.”
— Romans 7:12
The issue was never the law.
The issue was disobedience.
The Dietary Laws Were Never Removed
One of the clearest areas of confusion is food.
Many believe all things are now clean.
But prophecy says otherwise:
“They… eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination… shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.”
— Isaiah 66:17
This is future judgment.
Not past.
Which means:
What was called abomination is still abomination
The Law Was Kept Even Under Pressure
Even outside the 66 books, the same obedience is confirmed.
“Many in Israel were fully resolved… not to eat any unclean thing.”
— 1 Maccabees 1:62
They chose obedience even under threat of death.
Because the law was never optional.
The Choice Has Always Been Given
The Most High has always made this clear:
“If thou wilt, to keep the commandments… they shall preserve thee.”
— Sirach 15:15
And:
“He hath set fire and water before thee: stretch forth thy hand unto whether thou wilt.”
— Sirach 15:16
This has always been about choice.
Not force.
The Law Produces Life
The commandments were not given to restrict life.
They were given to preserve it.
“Which if a man do, he shall live in them.”
— Leviticus 18:5
Life is tied to obedience.
The Real Issue at 250 Years
After everything that has been built in this series…
The real question is simple:
Are the commandments still in effect?
Or have they been replaced?
Scripture answers clearly:
They were never removed.
They were ignored.
Closing Declaration
The law still stands.
The commandments still define righteousness.
Faith still requires obedience.
And access is still given to those who keep them.
Not those who claim.
Not those who speak.
Not those who believe only.
Those who do.
Final Line
Access is not automatic.
It is granted.
