Matthew 5:18
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
What is it that must be fulfilled for the law to no longer hold weight? What will cause heaven and earth to pass away? "For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." That which is perfect is when we are fully perfected in Heaven. When Christ has fully perfected us and we are resting in His unfailing loving presence, only then will the law be without need. Only then will we be made fully perfect in Christ and therefor have no use for rules and restriction. We won't have flesh which seeks to fulfill its own desires. We will be selfless beings worshipping God with our all. How exciting, we will finally live out the worship songs that we sing such as "I surrender all" and I'm giving you my All". For it is not possible to live up to such grand boasts while there is even the slightest amount of flesh in us. But I believe in a day when our Lord Jesus who has covered our sins, will perfect us. In that day, we will truly be able to give Him our all.
Application: pray for Holy fire in my soul and hatred for sin.
