Subject: Partly under the Law? |
Bible Note: Hank: I apreciate our discussions. There is debate on the answer to my questions and since you take the position that we are no longer under the law, I was just wanting your opinion on those questions. Obviously. the different laws were put in defferent places for a reason. My understanding is that te 10 Commandments were perfect and never to be changed. But the sacrificial laws would be done away with by Christ's death on the cross. Law must always be present for sin to occur. That is clear in the NT. That is why God imposed an law in the garden. Unfortunately, Satan was able to tempt man to sin which is breaking God's law. God expects obedience. In marriage the partners expect loyalty but it is not dictated but done out of love. Grace is the result of God's mercy to allow us to come to repentance of our sinful nature. But on repenting we must show God our love and changed heart towards sin by not sinning anymore. Sanctification comes from us being justified by His grace through our faith. Our faith is reflected to God by how we act towards Him. Look forward to your comments. Merv |
