Question 6
Didn’t Jesus come to do away with the commandments?
Bible
Matthew 5:17
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill."
John 15:10
"I have kept My Father's commandments."
Answer
Jesus Himself said I did not come to destroy the law. I came to fulfill the law. The word “fulfill” means to “perform” or “do” (Encarta Dictionary). Many accused Jesus of breaking the commandments but Jesus plainly said that He had kept all the commandments.
