2 Cor, 3

I can understand why a Jewish person who comes to Christ would want to be Messianic, but I don’t get why a gentile Christian would get taken up with studying the Law and observing Old Testament rituals. Paul spent his entire ministry trying to show Jewish and Gentile believers that going backwards in their faith was fruitless.

I suppose they may feel some advantage by thinking God is more pleased with their life when they observe Jewish worship traditions. I don’t think He is. The Law is a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. Christ doesn’t bring us back to the Law.

It’s a slippery slope when you begin jumping through Jewish religious hoops to become a “better” Christian. You can’t improve on just living face to face with JESUS!
