The Difference Between The Ceremonial Law
And The Ten Commandments
THE CEREMONIAL LAW
WAS ABOLISHED AT THE CROSS
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ARE ESTABLISHED IN OUR HEARTS
The Ten Commandments are the perfect law that defines sin.
"...Sin is TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW." (1 John
3:4) They show us that we need to be forgiven and
cleansed from the doing of sin. Those commandments are
the royal law of God. They are the standard by which all
men will be judged and chosen for eternal life. Jesus said:
" ... If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
Matt 19:17
On the other hand, the ceremonial law was a temporary law
that was "ADDED BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSIONS"
until the seed [Christ] should come:
"Wherefore then serveth the law? It was
ADDED BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSIONS,
till the seed should come
to whom the promise was made; .."
Gal 3:19
A spirit of anti-christ has crept into the church to
undermine the authority of Jesus Christ as Lord. Men of
lawlessness do this by twisting the words of Paul regarding
the law - so that they appear to say that "faith renders the
Christian free from obligation to obey The Ten
Commandments." An example of this kind of perversion
is their appeal to the text of Romans 10:1-4 to prove that
the law does not apply to Christians.
However, upon close examination, the context of the text
exposes their deceitfulness. Immediately, we will see that
Paul is talking about unconverted Jews --NOT
CHRISTIANS! So the ceremonial law (even though it was
only a shadow) is the only possible law they could have
(through ignorance) been observing for forgiveness of
sins.
From the time of their first Passover, the children learned
the principle: "It is the blood that maketh an atonement for
the soul."*
The Apostle Paul:
"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God
for Israel is, that they might be saved." Rom 10:1
Look! Paul is referring to people who were called Israel
because of their natural birth. They were still unconverted
Jews who did not have faith in the sacrificial death of Jesus
Christ for the forgiveness of sins. That is why Paul was
praying that they might be saved.
"For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God,
but not according to knowledge." Rom 10:2
Paul bears witness that his countrymen observed the ceremonial
law with great earnestness; but they lacked the knowledge
that THE LAW OF ORDINANCES (that regulated the
priesthood with its rites and sacrifices) was abolished at the
cross. They did not understand that the sacrifices of the
ceremonial law could not take away sin or make anyone
perfect.
"For the law having a shadow of good things to come,
and not the very image of the things, can never with
those sacrifices which they offered year by year
continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
For then would they not have ceased to be offered?
because that the worshippers once purged should have
had no more conscience of sins.
But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again
made of sins every year.
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats
should take away sins." Heb 10:1-4
Paul's countrymen were in a state of ignorance about God's
plan of justification, through the death, burial and
resurrection of Christ. Instead of having faith in Christ as
the true sin offering, they were striving for forgiveness and
cleansing of sin by observing the many sacrifices and rites
of the ceremonial law ...
"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness,
and going about to establish their own righteousness,
have not submitted themselves
unto the righteousness of God." Rom 10:3
The goal of the ceremonial law was to bring the
descendants of Abraham to Christ for the forgiveness and
cleansing of sin. Under that covenant, every time a
sacrifice was made, men of true faith would look forward to
the coming of the promised seed who would save them
from their sins.
"For Christ is the end of the law
for righteousness to every one that believeth."
Rom 10:4
The word "end" refers to the goal of the law - not
the cessation of the law.
* #5056 END = telos. (to set out for a definite point or
goal.) Strong's Greek/Hebrew Dictionary
The goal of the law is to lead us to Christ.
For example - Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical
Words states:
(b) "the final issue or result" of a state or process ... in
<Rom. 10:4>, Christ is described as 'the end of the Law
unto righteousness to everyone that believeth'; this is best
explained by <Gal. 3:23-26>; "
"But before faith came, we were kept under the law,
shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us
unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
But after that faith is come, we are no longer
under a schoolmaster.
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."
Gal 3:23-26 (KJV)
The Ceremonial law was abolished at the cross. The
purpose for animal sacrifices ended as Jesus cried: "It is
finished." The veil of the temple was rent in two from the
top to the bottom --and the ministry of the Levitical
Priesthood had finished its work. The promised seed had
come!
THE NEW COVENANT BEGINS ...
"That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled IN US,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
Rom 8:4 (KJV)
Heb 10:16-21
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,
saith the Lord, **I will put my laws into their
hearts,**
and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into
the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated
for us, through the veil,
that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
The Ten Commandments are established in our lives by faith
through obedience.
"Do we then make void the law through faith?
God forbid: yea, we establish the law." Rom 3:31 (KJV)
The Ten Commandments are engraved upon the hearts of the
people who choose to obey them and have the faith of Jesus.

The Difference Between The Ceremonial Law
And The Ten Commandments

THE CEREMONIAL LAW
WAS ABOLISHED AT THE CROSS

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ARE ESTABLISHED IN OUR HEARTS

The Ten Commandments are the perfect law that defines sin.
"...Sin is TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW." (1 John
3:4) They show us that we need to be forgiven and
cleansed from the doing of sin. Those commandments are
the royal law of God. They are the standard by which all
men will be judged and chosen for eternal life. Jesus said:

" ... If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
Matt 19:17

On the other hand, the ceremonial law was a temporary law
that was "ADDED BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSIONS"
until the seed [Christ] should come:

"Wherefore then serveth the law? It was
ADDED BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSIONS,
till the seed should come
to whom the promise was made; .."
Gal 3:19

A spirit of anti-christ has crept into the church to
undermine the authority of Jesus Christ as Lord. Men of
lawlessness do this by twisting the words of Paul regarding
the law - so that they appear to say that "faith renders the
Christian free from obligation to obey The Ten
Commandments." An example of this kind of perversion
is their appeal to the text of Romans 10:1-4 to prove that
the law does not apply to Christians.

However, upon close examination, the context of the text
exposes their deceitfulness. Immediately, we will see that
Paul is talking about unconverted Jews --NOT
CHRISTIANS! So the ceremonial law (even though it was
only a shadow) is the only possible law they could have
(through ignorance) been observing for forgiveness of
sins.

From the time of their first Passover, the children learned
the principle: "It is the blood that maketh an atonement for
the soul."*

The Apostle Paul:

"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God
for Israel is, that they might be saved." Rom 10:1

Look! Paul is referring to people who were called Israel
because of their natural birth. They were still unconverted
Jews who did not have faith in the sacrificial death of Jesus
Christ for the forgiveness of sins. That is why Paul was
praying that they might be saved.

"For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God,
but not according to knowledge." Rom 10:2

Paul bears witness that his countrymen observed the ceremonial
law with great earnestness; but they lacked the knowledge
that THE LAW OF ORDINANCES (that regulated the
priesthood with its rites and sacrifices) was abolished at the
cross. They did not understand that the sacrifices of the
ceremonial law could not take away sin or make anyone
perfect.

"For the law having a shadow of good things to come,
and not the very image of the things, can never with
those sacrifices which they offered year by year
continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

For then would they not have ceased to be offered?
because that the worshippers once purged should have
had no more conscience of sins.

But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again
made of sins every year.

For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats
should take away sins." Heb 10:1-4

plan of justification, through the death, burial and
resurrection of Christ. Instead of having faith in Christ as
the true sin offering, they were striving for forgiveness and

of the ceremonial law ...

"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness,
and going about to establish their own righteousness,
have not submitted themselves
unto the righteousness of God." Rom 10:3

The goal of the ceremonial law was to bring the
descendants of Abraham to Christ for the forgiveness and
cleansing of sin. Under that covenant, every time a
sacrifice was made, men of true faith would look forward to
the coming of the promised seed who would save them
from their sins.

"For Christ is the end of the law
for righteousness to every one that believeth."
Rom 10:4

The word "end" refers to the goal of the law - not
the cessation of the law.

* #5056 END = telos. (to set out for a definite point or
goal.) Strong's Greek/Hebrew Dictionary

The goal of the law is to lead us to Christ.

For example - Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical
Words states:

"But before faith came, we were kept under the law,
shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us
unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

But after that faith is come, we are no longer
under a schoolmaster.
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."
Gal 3:23-26 (KJV)

The Ceremonial law was abolished at the cross. The
purpose for animal sacrifices ended as Jesus cried: "It is
finished." The veil of the temple was rent in two from the
top to the bottom --and the ministry of the Levitical
Priesthood had finished its work. The promised seed had
come!

THE NEW COVENANT BEGINS ...

"That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled IN US,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
Rom 8:4 (KJV)

Heb 10:16-21
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,
saith the Lord, **I will put my laws into their
hearts,**
and in their minds will I write them;

17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into
the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated
for us, through the veil,
that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having an high priest over the house of God;

The Ten Commandments are established in our lives by faith
through obedience.

"Do we then make void the law through faith?
God forbid: yea, we establish the law." Rom 3:31 (KJV)

The Ten Commandments are engraved upon the hearts of the
people who choose to obey them and have the faith of Jesus.

and I have given it for you upon the altar
to make atonement for your souls;
for it is the blood that makes atonement, by reason of the
life."
Lev 17:11 (RSV)

"Here is the patience of the saints:
here are they that keep the commandments of God,
and the faith of Jesus." Rev 14:12 (KJV)
