But if we         

  

as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Yahshua Messiah (Jesus Christ) his son cleanseth us from all sin --1 John 1:7

Sharing the Everlasting Gospel with the World, Walking in Obedience to the Creator, in His Light, and Salvation through His Son Yahshua the Messiah.
As Hebrews 13:8 aptly points out: "Yahshua Messiah (Jesus Christ) the same yesterday, today, and forever." Knowing this, it's not hard to discern what Yahshua (YHWH will save) would affirm today; it's the same truth He attested to as he walked this earth some 2000 years ago - an exclusive way to the Father (John 14:6) and that man, as a sinful creature, is in need of a Saviour.(John 3:16-21).
 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. I Thessalonians 5:4

The Purpose of the Law

Even in the New Testament and apart from being the guideline of God's covenant people Israel, the Law has at least a nine-fold purpose to all people. This is not to say that all the Law applies to all people, for much of it was a direct covenant to Israel alone. Note the detail of some of the universal aspects of God's Law:

First - To teach the believer how to serve, worship and please God [Psalm 19:7-9; Acts 18:13,14].

Second - To instruct the believer how to treat his fellow man and have healthy relationships with him [Leviticus 19:18; Galatians 5:14; Galatians 6:2].

Third - To teach believers how to be happy and prosper here on earth by manifesting the power and authority of God's reign in their lives [Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3; Luke 12:32].

Fourth - The Law was given, not to save, but too measure man's deeds both toward God and his fellow man, straightening out all matters contrary to sound doctrine [I Timothy 1:8-10; II Timothy 2:5; 1 Corinthians 6:1-12; I Corinthians 3:13; Romans 2:12; Revelation 20:12, 13].

Fifth - The Law is a schoolmaster showing that we are guilty and then leading us to Christ our Messianic justification [Galatians 3:21-24; Romans 3:19].

Sixth - The Law gives us both the knowledge and depth of our sin [Romans 3:20; Romans 4:15; Romans 7:7, 8; Luke 20:47 - greater damnation].

Seventh -The Law reveals the good, holy, just, and Perfect nature of God and serves as the visible standard for God's will [Romans 2:17], and please God [Psalm 19:7-9; Acts 18:13, 18; Romans 7:12; II Peter 1:4].

Eighth - The Law is to be established or accomplished by our faith, therefore, it is called the Law of faith [Romans 3:27; Romans 3:31].

Ninth - The same Law today is written on our hearts, and through God's Spirit we can delight and serve the Law of God [Romans 7:6-25].
