The Torah

The Hebrew word for law is Torah. It means to teach, instruct, guide, and direct. Torah is teaching people the way to walk with God. Many people look at the Torah as a set of legalistic rules one must follow in order to be saved. The consequence of this misunderstanding has been a disaster for the church. Christianity became a lawless (in the sense that it does not accept the Mosaic Law) religion in which people believed they could simply confess a belief in Messiah and live as they pleased. The entire New Testament is Torah in the flesh, teaching us how to walk with God in order to live an abundant Christian life.
