1 | Will sin enter heaven? | Rev 21:17 | Nic J Zwarts | 140803 | ||
Hi, Seems to me you do not understand your own question Jeff, therefore you cannot fathom yhe answers given by Brad. Jesus gives us the direct order to obey His COMMANDMENTS. What are they? First of all, you must understand that Jesus never came to earth to nulify the Law, but to fulfil it. So, all those commandments as given to Israel, via Moses and the prophets are still valid and must be kept by evry one saying he/she is a christian. However, with Jesus'coming to earth, He fulfilled the law in that we do not have to sacrfice animals any longer for our salvation. The only sacrifice required is total belief. Once you understand this, the Holy Spirrit is able to guide you further into faith and the realm of serving God, of becoming an heir together with Jesus. Please read Deut 28. This explains the good that God has in store for you if you keep His commandments. It also explains what can happen if you do not. Read in conjunction with Mathews. And pray all the time you read these scriptures, so the Holy Spirit open your mind and allow you to see the beautiful promises of God. Love you. God Bless Nic Zwarts |

2 | Will sin enter heaven? | Rev 21:17 | Jeff W | 140884 | ||
Hello Nic, I think you might have me mixed up with someone else, because I agree with you 100 percent. We must obey the law. There are some here that are writing and telling me we do not. Jesus did come to fulfill the law, but who really understands what this means. It seams like you have a good grasp on that principle. In matthew 5, the sermon on the mount, Jesus magnified the law, and this is what I believe He meant when He said He came to fulfill the law verse 17-18. But when we read juat after that context, starting verse 21 He states "ye have heard. . ." verse 22 He states "But I say unto yo. . ." again in verses 27-28 also 31-32 also 33-34 also 38-39 also 42-43. When the Holy Spirit revealed this to me it was like scales falling from my eyes. I always known that obedience is the fruit of faith, and it is necessary for salvation, but when this proof text hit me in the face I was over joyed. Jesus not only reiterated what was, and has been from the beginning, He made it more, He magnified them to give us a better grasp on what it means to love God with all our heart, and our neighbour as ourselves. God Bless you Jeff W |
