Moral law vs ritual law

The evening was led by Jaco and we discussed moral law vs ritual law.

Jesus did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill the law. In short, moral law is the law that must be kept at all times. It is the reason for the ritual law and it still in force today. We must continuously strive to find out what the moral law is, and if our understanding of it is correct (another reason for missions).

Ritual laws are the cultural traditions around the moral law. It is also based on worldview. One should try to keep the ritual law together with the moral law as this is the form of identification with the culture. But if you have to choose between moral and ritual law, choose the moral law.

We prayed for Mario who left for Malaysia on Thursday. He will do YWAM's DTS there. He shared his experiences in preparation for going and what God is doing in his life. We were all encouraged by him.
