Forever Home in the Eternal Family of God

The Law Fulfilled in Christ

“Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.”—Colossians 2:16-19

Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. The Law not only showed people their sin and need for God, but it is filled with symbols, types, and foreshadows which pointed to the coming of Christ. Let’s keep our attention fixed on Him and stay connected to Him through healthy, balanced relationship and we will grow spiritually together to become more and more like Him.
