Alone

Psalm 62 English Standard Version

For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.

How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

They only plan to thrust him down from his high position. They take pleasure in falsehood.
They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion;in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.

Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.
For you will render to a man according to his work.

May the Word speak to you, alone. AMEN

Abolish

Ephesians 2:14-16 English Standard Version

For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility  by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility.

Colossians 2:14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

1 Corinthians 6:12 English Standard Version (parsed)

 “All things are lawful for me,”

1 Corinthians 10:23 English Standard Version (parsed)

 “All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful.

Abolish according to the dictionary is a verb meaning to put an end to (a system, practice, or institution)

In the natural world society creates laws and penalties to establish a peaceful society.

In the court of heaven we are not judged by the law. That was during our lives so that we would recognize that we had sinned.

In the court of heaven the only matter before the court is whether we are covered by the blood of Jesus or are we guilty of the blood of Jesus. If we are covered by His blood sacrifice, our sins have been judiciously satisfied by the court. We have accepted His free will offering that fulfilled all the requirements of the law of commandments.

Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
