Subject: Is the Christian under Law? |
Bible Note: True enough. God regenerated us, however, to lead holy, moral lives which glorify Him. This comes not from circumcision, nor from keeping the Old Testament feasts, but come from sanctification in obedience to God's moral law. Obedience is not the BASIS of our being saved, or we would all be in some serious trouble! But it definitely is an inevitable fruit of our new birth. We are not saved BY works, but we are saved UNTO works. Following God's moral law with the motivation of honoring Him should be the sole occuption of the life of a believer. That certainly was not limited to pre-Christian Jews! Thanks for your input! --Joe! |
