“For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.”
Hebrews 7:12 KJV
If there is a new order of priesthood, there must obviously be a new law. Melchizedek reveals a new basis of righteousness, related not to a person’s effort to keep the law by their own willpower, but based upon the perfect work of Christ. The new law is called the law of faith - Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. Also the law of perfect liberty - But the one who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he or she does. Even the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus - For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death. Let’s walk according to the new covenant laws under the order of the Melchizedek priesthood where we all are priests; and according to the perfect and finished work of Christ! Hallelujah!
