As we study the Torah along side of the Gospel Message, we are not looking at a set of rules that one must legalistically follow in order to be saved. It is unfortunate when a Christian hears the phrase: “the Torah and the Gospel Message” the general thought is towards one of performing works in order to get into heaven. Fortunately, the Scriptures do not describe the Torah in this way. This attitude towards the Torah is a product of modern theologies. The Torah (instruction) of God is not simply a set of rules. At the highest (abstract) level, God’s Torah lays the foundation for moral and ethical living and what it means to love God and to love one another as the children of God. The most significant aspect of the Torah in relation to the Gospel Message is to look at our lives to seek and to see how the Lord God is working and leading us to live according to His Word.
