Christ, Not Moses.

A contributor to one of our exchanges, in endeavoring to convince people that the law of God is dead, says, “Christ is our law-giver, not Moses.” True, and it was Christ, not Moses, who rehearsed the law from Sinai. And it was Christ, not Moses, who from a mountain in Palestine, said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” Matt. 5:17. Then to fulfil does not mean to destroy. It was by fulfilling the law that Christ “condemned sin in the flesh.” The assertion that He did not come to destroy the law is one of the “sayings” to which Christ referred when He said, “Whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock,” etc. Matt. 7:24–27.
