How do we know the Law is binding on Christians today?

Answered in 1 source

The Law is binding on Christians because it was established by God, remains unabolished, and is necessary for moral guidance (Matthew 5:17-19).

The binding nature of the Law on Christians today is supported by several key arguments. First, the Ten Commandments were divinely inscribed, which indicates their permanence. Jesus emphasized this in His teaching by stating that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). Furthermore, the epistles teach that we establish God’s Law through faith, rather than voiding it (Romans 3:31). This reflects an ongoing necessity for God's moral guidance in the lives of believers. If the commandments remain relevant for all humanity, they underscore the eternal moral character of God that transcends cultural changes and human transgressions.
