These were underhand swipes at the Law, and now it is full blown frontal assault so Apostle John is referring to the apostate church. Recently there was a statement in a Christian journal, "We take orders from Mt. Zion and not from Mar-a-Lago." Who are the ungodly but the lawbreakers? Instead of the Spirit they follow the flesh. "For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit."(Ro.8:5)
Blessed are those who are led by the Spirit. As with Paul we must well knowas to what is the purpose of the Law? It is the same as the everlasting covenant for which the Law holds an emblem, the slain Lamb and our fellowship with God in following the word of God entrusted with us. When God fashioned all hearts alike it ought to tell us that everyone of us is equal befor God and his Law of the Spirit."Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,/I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."(Phi.3:13-14)
