You have fallen away from God's grace.” (Galatians 5:4), I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" (Galatians 2:21), and, “Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith. A mature Christian will adopt this view.” (Phillippians 3:8-9, 15). A Christian believes the Lord Jesus Christ (God and Son of God) alone can save (John 6:40, John 3:16-18, John 14:6) and faith in Him is what makes us right before God (Romans 10:9-10, John 6:40). The Blood of Jesus is what ballets is ans allowa is into the holiest place (Hebrews 10:19) and May stand before God without blemish (Colossians 1:22). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.” (Hebrews 13:11-12) Edited August 30, 2018 by Fidei Defensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it not me. That is not the same as trying to be justified by the law. First a person needs,to be born of God. Then only will they keep Jesus commandments. Paul said don't touch the unclean. So once we are saved God wants us to live a holy life. To be holy is to belong to God. Peter said God says be holy because I am Holy. So the thing is we want to be holy for the sake of God's holiness. This not being justified by the law. But a sactified life in christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the thing is we want to be holy for the sake of God's holiness. This not being justified by the law. But a sactified life in christ. To focus on keeping Jesus’ commands is to create a new law. We must focus on Christ, “ fixing our eyes on Jesus, the [b]author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God,” (Hebrews 12:2), and “Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith. All who are mature in faith should adopt this perspective..” (Phillipians 3:8-9, 15). When we accept God’s love through His Son (Romans 5:4-11, John 3:16), and love the Lord (Jesus, Romans 10:9, Phillip 2:1-11) Back, we fulfill all law and commands, because while are being loved by the Lord and are loving the Lord we are filled with His love (1 John 4:8) and spreading our love fulfills the commands of Christ which are love: “Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments,” (Matthew 22:36-41) and, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35), “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. "You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.' For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? "If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:43-48). It is love based, not law based. The loving relationship with God The Trinity and others fulfills all His commands. Because when you relate to Jesus and love Him you do His commands and want to do them which are lovesyntric. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
