There are many verses that speak of this overcoming, and looking for that white linen, but they have been buried amongst the "We are under Grace "crowd, the ones that like to spit "Legalist" at any attempt to show them that faith without works is dead.

Ohh I love this topic. The scripture is so awesome in that it is full of hidden meaning.

When we became born again we became part of the bride of Christ. Just as Eve was the bride of Adam and came out of his side, so are we the bride of JESUS and came out of his side.

Genesis 2:21-23 KJV

(21) And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

(22) And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

(23) And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

John 19:33-34 KJV

(33) But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

(34) But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

Supposedly the Bride of Christ is the Roman Catholic Church and the "new Jerusalem" is Rome. But of course I have no biblical facts to base that on.

That's because there is none!

We may be saved by faith through grace, but our reward is predicated on what we do - how we overcome life challenging circumstances and conform to the image of Christ. As I stated in an earlier post, this is accomplished by being filled with the spirit Galatians 5:16 and the exposure to God's word, in order to have our minds transformed

Actually if somone is teaching that we are justified by works, that would be legalism. It is one thing to demonstrate that faith without works is dead. It is altogether different if someone is teaching that faith must accompanied by certain kind of observance in order to make one's salvation sure.

we are the bride and jesus is the groom what is legalism anyway if God says to do it should we not do it. yes we are saved under grace but that does not mean we dint have to do anything for instance the ten commandments the first four is love for God the last six are love for your neighbour the greates commandment these must be kept jesus said if you love me you will keep my commandments.

the law of mosses was nailed to the cross but not the law of God Jesus asked us to obey his commandments not disregard them. yes even the fourth commandment about what day to worship just think about it for a second. God rested on the seventh day and blessed it and sanctified it in the beggining then the isralits had to keep it in the desert. so did david and all Gods people and even Jesus in fact he died on friday rested on satarday and rose on sunday then Jesus also said to the deciples in concern of the end pray that your flight will not take place on the sabbath and again in hebrews 4 paul makes it clear that isreal did not go into the promised land untill the next generation because of the breaking of the sabbath and then warns that if we are found in reballion then we shall fall short as well. think about it the 4th cammand in exodus shows that we are Gods and we follow him go to deutaronommy and the 4th shows that we are freed by Jesus.

in isaiah we are told that even in heaven we will keep the sabbath the sabbath is a sighn of Gods people and i think youll find that if you studdy what Jesus says about the end in the gospels and then ezekiel and jeramiah and revelation ill think youll find two things One God throughout history has punished those who desecrate the sabbath and two that the sabbath will be the mark of the beast study it and pray for guidence it is not legalism to obey God
