WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE TORAH?

by Eddie Chumney.

  1. Teaches and reveals the Divine nature of G-d.
    1. G-d is Holy (Leviticus 19:2).
    2. G-d is Love (I John 4:7-8).
    3. G-d is Gracious, Righteous, Merciful (Psalm 116:5).
    4. G-d is Light (I John 1:5).
  2. Teaches and reveals sin (Romans 3:20, Galatians 3:10, James 2:10, I John 3:4).
  3. Teaches and reveals man’s need to have a Messiah (Mashiach) (Romans 10:4). “End” in Greek means “Goal/Target.”
  4. Teaches and reveals the G-d of Israel’s redemptive plan through the Messiah (Mashiach) (Psalm 40:6-7, Hebrews 10:5-7, Luke 24:36, 44).
  5. Teaches and reveals that man is saved/redeemed/delivered by the grace/mercy (chesed) of the G-d of Israel by faith (emunah) and not by the deeds of the law (Romans 3:20, 24, 28, Galatians 2:16, Ephesians 2:8-9).
  6. Teaches and reveals the difference between the life of the Spirit (the Torah written upon a heart of flesh) and the life of the flesh/evil inclination (the Torah written upon a heart of stone) (Romans 8:1-3, 5-9).
  7. Teaches us how to grow from spiritual babies to spiritual maturity (Genesis 17:1, Psalm 19:7-8, Psalm 119:1-2, Ephesians 4:11-15, Hebrews 5:12-14).
