Fulfilled Questions

Here are two verses of Scripture that many read, most interpret wrong, but there is something important said here by Jesus. See if you get it?

Matthew 5:17-18:

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill."

"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."

The question here is: did Jesus fulfill the law in his life time? And if he did, what does this mean to the part "till all be fulfilled."

If heaven and earth could not pass until all was fulfilled, and if Jesus fulfilled it, then can the heaven and earth pass at any time since there is no more a concern about a jot or a tittle.

Did Jesus fulfill the law? And if he did, has it been destroyed or fulfilled?

Many claim I am trying to destroy the law. My response is that I cannot destroy what Jesus fulfilled. There is nothing left to destroy. Am I right?

I have preached the grace of God for years. And by grace I mean that which replaced the law when it was fulfilled.

Romans 6:14:

"For sin shall have no dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."

Did Jesus on the Cross take away the dominion of sin over us? And if he did, and sin is the transgression of the law: then the Old Testament law is fulfilled and disanulled. What remains is the commandments of Jesus and all who do his commandments shall enjoy the glory world (John 14:15,21; 15:10; Acts 1:2;  1Cor 14:37; 1Thes 4:2; 1John 2:3-4; Rev 22:14). We are not lawless, we have the New Testament law written into our hearts. In this law we have our gloryland rights. All because of the love of Jesus.

The grace and mercy of Jesus brings to the world salvation and we find it in Acts 2:38 where the plan of faith and grace salvation was first preached.

Jesus bless us all to accept that he fulfilled all the law and brought it to its end.
