Jewish Roots (Part 3)

The Jewish Roots MovementSteve Gregg
In this segment, Steve Gregg delves into the Jewish Roots Movement and the misconception that Gentiles are obligated to keep the laws of Moses. He clarifies that living a moral life is still an obligation for Christians, but when it comes to specific laws that were meant for Israel, like Sabbath-keeping, Gentiles are not required to observe them. Gregg emphasizes that the New Covenant has abolished these distinctions and that the focus should be on a heart dedicated to righteousness rather than ritualistic laws.
