Bible Note: Very well stated Jeff. Those who obey the Torah, do so because we understand it was an instruction for living given to an already redeemed people. They were saved out of Egypt, then given the Torah. It was never intended for salvation. None of the sacrifices were for salvation. Salvation has always been by grace through faith. :o) |
