Old and New in harmony for the counsel of God

Think not that I am come to destroy the law (Word of God), or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fullfil. Matthew 5:17

Do we then make void the law (Word of God) through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law (Word of God). Romans 3:31

4While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5"A farmer went out to sow his seed (Word of God). As he was scattering the seed (Word of God), some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7Other seed (Word of God) fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8Still other seed (Word of God) fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop (Fruit and good works), a hundred times more than was sown."

When he said this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear."

9His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10He said, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,

" ‘though seeing, they may not see;

though hearing, they may not understand. "a

11"This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the Word of God. 12Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the Word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the Word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. 14The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the Word (FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT), retain it, and by persevering produce a crop. Luke 8:4-15

Mark's record of the same parable, NOTE Jesus quoting an Old Testament scripture to denote it intertwines and confirms the New Testament scriptures. Just as Jesus used the Old Testament passages to rebuke Satan in the testing in the Wilderness, He demonstrated the Old Testament passages are relevant and objective to the Christian life, NOT RELEVANT to circumstances and choice and or opinion and emotions...for those are humanistic lies from the pit of Hell. Those of us truly under grace, will NOT loophole scripture, New Covenant or Old Covenant to Justify sin. Jesus NEVER justified man's sinful behavior, that's why Gethsemane, Golgotha, and Resurrection had to occur. We can't keep to law to be justified and saved, that's a fact friends, but grace empowers within us a desire, not to murder, not to covet, not to commit adultery, not to murmur, not to love the things and ideas of this world, but a desire to walk in obedience because of the suffering of an innocent man, because a Righteous and Holy Father demanded justice, and crushed His own Son. That is the motivation and empowerment to walk in His commandments, not to be saved, but to be Holy, set apart, and sanctified into the likeness of the Holy One of Israel Who loved us enough to save us from the wrath of a just God. Those Old Testament abominations are still a stench, an reproach, a vile disgust unto the Father, and still are deadly in consequences in this temporal world. A saved heart that has truly accepted grace is a repentant heart to ALL things contrary to God who hates sin.
