1 Timothy 6:14
לִשְׁמֹר אֶת הַמִּצְוָה בְּטֹהַר וּבְלֹא דֹּפִי עַד הוֹפָעַת אֲדוֹנֵנוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ,
The Torah emphasizes the importance of keeping God’s commandments as a continuous and enduring practice. This mirrors the exhortation in 1 Timothy 6:14 to “keep the commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing.” For example, in Deuteronomy 6:1-2 we are told to continuously observe God’s commandments throughout one’s life and across generations, reflecting the enduring nature of obedience. Deuteronomy 11:1 states, “Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep His charge, His statutes, His judgments, and His commandments always.” The use of “always” underscores the perpetual nature of keeping God’s commandments, aligning with the idea of sustained faithfulness. And Leviticus 22:31 states, “Therefore you shall keep My commandments, and perform them: I am the LORD.” This verse succinctly commands us to keep and perform God’s commandments as a fundamental aspect of our relationship with Him. These passages collectively highlight the Torah’s emphasis on the continuous and enduring observance of God’s commandments. The idea of maintaining faithfulness to God’s instructions until a future time of fulfillment, as echoed in 1 Timothy 6:14, finds strong parallels in the Torah’s repeated calls for lifelong and generational obedience. The underlying principle is that obedience to God’s commandments is a lasting commitment, integral to the covenant relationship between God and His people. This is how Paul and the NT taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
