1 | In the Andes, name the Laws of the New | Ex 20:10 | MrsBinGA | 53642 | ||
In the Andes - I've greatly enjoyed reading your posts on this subject. They are totally scriptural! It's so sad to hear Christians trying to bring OT truths into this dispensation of Grace and thereby putting themselves back under the Law. That is "works of the law", which, as you know, Galatians 2:16 says "by the works of the law shall no man be justified." You may have given the following references in one of your posts. If so, forgive me for not remembering, and thus repeating them. Gal 5:14: "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." I, for one, would almost rather keep the 613 laws of the O.T. than try to "love my neighbor". That ONE law ain't easy! **smile** I love what Gal 3:22-25 says about the Law: "But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law". What could be more clear about the purpose of the law? It was given to LEAD US to Christ! Also, Rom 10:4: "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." And, Gal 5:4: "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace". (Hmmmm . . . how many sermons have I have heard using that phrase "fallen from grace" to "prove" a born-again believer can "lose their salvation." Verses taken out of context are a pretext! **smile**) I'm thankful I am in Christ and that ".. by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses" (Acts 13:39). Everything the law required of me has been fulfilled BY Him; therefore I AM complete because I am IN Him (Col. 2:10). Resting in what Jesus did FOR me, MrsB in Georgia |

Dear Mrs B, I didn't use those scriptures. I did refer to Gal 3:25 though. I used Roms 13:8-10. As a matter of fact, I also used them to teach on marriage today at church. We need more of the Love of God in our marriages than we do rules and regulations. You know, I agree with you 100 percent, I'm having enough trouble walking in love without adding, did i walk to far from my home on the Sabbath day? ha ha. I had to go half way across Santiago to preach. I was so grateful that is was a beautiful day here. God bless, In the Andes |
