Pronomian Christianity is a faith tradition that holds a high view of God’s Law affirming its continued relevance and importance for believers in Jesus (Yeshua) today. The term "pronomian" comes from the Greek words "pro" meaning "for" and "nomos" meaning "law." Pronomian Christianity essentially means being "for the law" or having a positive view of God’s commandments (Torah). For pronomian Christians the Bible’s commandments which are often associated with the Old Testament remain crucial guides for living a life that honors God.

Understanding the Law in Pronomian Christianity

Pronomian Christianity embraces the idea that Jesus’ death and resurrection did not abolish the Law but instead affirmed it. While mainstream Christian theology often views the Mosaic Law as either fulfilled and therefore no longer applicable or as having a primarily moral influence pronomian Christians believe that Jesus came not to abolish but to fulfill the Law as stated in Matthew 5:17-19. This means that the moral ceremonial and judicial aspects of the Law still have value in shaping how Christians live.

From this perspective pronomian Christians believe that the Law reveals God's holiness righteousness and the intended design for human flourishing. By keeping the Law Christians can better align their lives with God's will and reflect His character. This perspective doesn't conflict with the message of grace central to the Gospel; instead it complements it by showing that God’s grace empowers believers to follow His commandments.

Paul’s teachings which are often misunderstood to indicate the Law has been set aside are viewed through a different lens within pronomian Christianity. Rather than being opposed to the Law Paul was addressing the misuse of the Law for self-justification or legalism. Pronomian Christians emphasize that keeping the Law is not about earning salvation but is the natural response to the gift of salvation through Jesus. As Ephesians 2:10 says believers are "created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."

Why a High View of the Law is Important for Christians

A pronomian approach encourages a high view of the Law for several reasons:

1. Obedience as Worship

Keeping the commandments is seen as an act of worship. It demonstrates reverence for God and gratitude for His grace. Obedience is not simply a duty; it is a form of devotion and love for God. Jesus himself said "If you love me keep my commandments" (John 14:15). In this sense obeying God’s commandments is a natural outflow of love for God.

2. Holiness and Distinction

God's Law sets His people apart making them distinct from the world. In the Torah God called Israel to be a “holy nation” and that holiness was marked by obedience to His commandments. Pronomian Christians believe that as the church they are called to continue in that same mission—being a holy set-apart people who reflect God’s holiness in how they live worship and engage with the world.

3. Wisdom and Guidance for Living

The Law is also seen as a source of wisdom and practical guidance for how to live righteously. The Torah provides instructions on how to treat others how to handle disputes and how to manage resources among many other things. In following these commandments believers gain insight into God’s order and justice.

4. Affirming the Role of Israel

Pronomian Christianity maintains a deep connection with Israel and the Jewish people recognizing that the Torah was given first to Israel. There is a strong belief that God’s covenants with Israel are eternal and Christians are grafted into this heritage (Romans 11). Therefore keeping the Law honors the role of Israel and upholds God’s promises to His chosen people.

5. Fulfillment in Jesus (Yeshua)

Perhaps most importantly pronomian Christians see the Law as being fulfilled in Yeshua the Messiah. Jesus kept the Torah perfectly and He demonstrated how the commandments are to be lived out. His life and teachings elevate the Law showing that it is not just about external observance but about the heart’s intention.
