1 | Will keeping Law yield eternal life? | Lev 18:5 | glory777 | 11557 | ||
I think it depended on where there heart was. I take it this was in the time before Christ. If they followed the verses quoted by Jesus they could. Abraham was saved, again not by works, but by faith. He loved the Lord. By just keeping the Law, no. Even if they didn't keep the law with all it's little add-ons, if they truly loved the Lord, tried to live by the law, then, yes. Debbie |

Rom 3:20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. Dear Glory, I think this Scripture is clear. God never gave the Law as a means to attain eternal life. No saint, before or after Christ was justified by keeping the Law. All receive eternal life just as Abraham did... by faith, not by works of the Law. Peace, Lionstrong |

I guess I did not make my answer understandable. Yes, it always was by faith. But when the Lord gave Moses the Law, the people were expected to try to live by it. They could not say "I have faith so I don't have to do what the law says." That would be the same as saying "I don't care what God says" and so verifies their love and respect for the Lord was not there. And as Rom. 3:20 states, the law made them aware of how sinful they were, which should bring them to a greater awareness of how they would have to depend on God's mercy and faithfulness (faith). So, keeping the law, for the right motive (faith and love for the Lord)would gain them eternal law. Keeping the law, for appearance sake or just because that was what a good jew did, gained them nothing. It all boils down to faith. | ||||||

"So, keeping the law, for the right motive (faith and love for the Lord)would gain them eternal (life)." Glory Rom 3:20 "because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin." Paul Dear Glory, Unfortunately words are the only things we have to communicate with in the forum. And although you add the phrase "for the right motive (faith and love for the Lord)," your words are still that one gains eternal life by keeping the law. And this is directly opposed to what the Scripture teaches, that "a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law." Rom. 3:28. Your wording says eternal life is by faith AND keeping the law. Peace. Lionstrong |
