Subject: Partly under the Law? |
Bible Note: Brad: Yes, we can respectfully disagree. And we still do. You will have to explain to me Math. 15:3. 1 John 2:4 Is so clear I do not see how anyone can state we are not obligated to keep the law. Jesus is to me our example and to live within us right ??? Then according to your understanding of law -- how do you explain John 15:10 and 1 John 2:6. Galations: Yes law lead us to Christ !! It pointed out our sin. But the only law that we are not to follow now is the law of sacrifices and offerings which was a shaddow of things to come (Jesus) Only Jesus can atone for our sins. The blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sin. But sin still exists in this world. We as Christians will keep the law through the help of Jesus but many many people still need the law to lead them to Christ - to point out they are guilty before God. Once they confess they are no longer "under the law" or guilty of it because Jesus has paid the penalty for it but we still need to live the life of Christ which is our love for Him - reflected in our keeping His will or commandments. Noah found grace in the eyes of God but he still had to be obedient to God and build an ark to survive !!! Merv |
