AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:4 Whoever says, "I have come to know Him," but does not habitually keep [focused on His precepts and obey] His commandments (teachings), is a liar, and the truth [of the divine word] is not in him. |
Subject: What commandments to keep? |
Bible Note: I do agree with what you are sayng, though the fact that we cannot keep the Law does not excuse us from living a godly life. As you say, it wll look like we are under the Law, because through the Spirit we will naturally keep the law to the best of our ability, otherwise we sin. Certainly, you will not disagree with me as I trumpet Titus 3:8 "This is a faithful saying and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men." |
