It starts with: “Wait… that’s in the Bible?” And then… You read Leviticus. You see food laws. Fabric laws. Sacrifices. Festivals. And suddenly— You’re wondering if your lunch is sinful And your wardrobe is disobedient. Because here’s the question: If it’s all God’s Word… Why don’t we follow all of it the same way? Not just: “Is this in the Bible?” But: “How does this apply to me now?” Because let’s be honest— Most Christians aren’t offering goats… But we still care about obedience. So today we’re asking: What parts of the Old Testament Law do Christians actually embrace?
🎙️ Episode Summary
In this episode of CLF Conversations, Perry and Pastor Dave unpack one of the most confusing questions for many Christians: what parts of the Old Testament Law still apply today?
By exploring the categories of moral, ceremonial, and civil law, they show how Jesus fulfills the Law and reshapes how believers relate to it.
Rather than discarding the Law—or being crushed by it—Christians are invited to see it through the lens of Christ: fulfilled, clarified, and written on the heart.
Because in the end—
The Law doesn’t lead us to rule-keeping…
It leads us to Jesus.
