The Law of Life is the law of Moses (The Laws of God). The laws and regulations that God gave moses when they came out of Egypt also known as the Torah laws. I know you might be thinking is this not the law that cursed us to not enter heaven and that we can not recieve salvation by the law. Yes I agree with you on both cases.

Galatians 3:10–12 GNT
Those who depend on obeying the Law live under a curse. For the scripture says, “Whoever does not always obey everything that is written in the book of the Law is under God’s curse!”
11 Now, it is clear that no one is put right with God by means of the Law, because the scripture says, “Only the person who is put right with God through faith shall live.”
12 But the Law has nothing to do with faith. Instead, as the scripture says, “Whoever [does] everything the Law requires will live.”

Deuteronomy 27:26 CJB
26 “‘A curse on anyone who does not confirm the words of this Torah by putting them into practice.’ All the people are to say, ‘Amen!’

See and understand that although The Torah Law cursed us not to be able to enter heaven by our works, it does not change the fact that we are supposed to live according to the law. The Law brings life if you live accroding to the Torah.

Deuteronomy 30:19–20 CJB
19 “I call on heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have presented you with life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore, choose life, so that you will live, you and your descendants, 20 loving Adonai your God, paying attention to what he says and clinging to him — for that is the purpose of your life! On this depends the length of time you will live in the land Adonai swore he would give to your ancestors Avraham, Yitz’chak and Ya‘akov.”

Now what about salvation? How do we get salvation now we know we have to live according to the law. The Law can not give us salvation but life and length of days while we live upon this earth. Salvation is recieve by grace through faith on Messiah Yeshua.

Ephesians 2:8–10 CJB
8 For you have been delivered by grace through trusting, and even this is not your accomplishment but God’s gift. 9 You were not delivered by your own actions; therefore no one should boast. 10 For we are of God’s making, created in union with the Messiah Yeshua for a life of good actions already prepared by God for us to do.

John 3:16–17 CJB
16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but rather so that through him, the world might be saved.

God bless you my brothers and sisters that read this message and receive salvation amen.
