Re: "Not all who cry out Lord lord"...."Whoever calls on the name of the Lord.."
So as a Christian and an honest citizen if you see money that does not belong to you, no one can turn it into the police or try to find the rightful owner?
Why read the bible or become a Christian at all if no one cant at least make an attempt to follow God?

Re: "Not all who cry out Lord lord"...."Whoever calls on the name of the Lord.."
Amen...no one can keep the law in it's fullest intent. Only Jesus has keep the Law...no one else and people that try to keep it now are nullifying the grace of Christ in their lives. Christians today live from the law of love, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ and the law of faith. Christ fulfilled all of the law for us so now we live by His faith and life in us.
The law had 4 purposes.
The purpose of the law was :
1) To reveal our sinful state. Rom 3:20
2) To inflame sin Rom 7:8
3) To minister death in us Rom 7:10-11
4) To lead us to Christ Gal 3:24
The law is good! But the purpose of the law was not for righteousness or salvation at all, it was to manifest sin in our lives, so that the purpose of grace which is in Jesus is to manifest salvation. Grace does not set aside the law, but completely satisfied it by Christ fulfilling it for us.
Col 2:13-15 is where in says that Christ "disarmed" satan having cancelled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us and He nailed it to the cross. Satan uses the law against us. Satan comes and says to you - you broke the law - you are condemned now according to the law. BUT our Lord took that punishment for breaking that law for us.
When Christ takes away the condemnation of the law which satan uses against when he accuses us - he is being "disarmed". If disarmed means anything - it means he did have a weapon but now he doesn't because of our Lord. How great is our salvation in Him!

Progress, not perfection. No one is totally without sin as far as i know. The question is, are we willing to seek God or not? Are we willing to go the distance for the cause of true love?
"A righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, But the wicked stumble in time of calamity." -Proverbs 24:16

Here is a short video that explains grace verse law..this defines the true gospel and exposes Judaizers that come in afterward trying to get people to live by rules and laws and self-effort. It's anti-Christ in it's nature.

Re: "Not all who cry out Lord lord"...."Whoever calls on the name of the Lord.."
The law of Christ
Lord means lord, not best friend
GOD's law is his will
The law of Christ
I will raise up to them a prophet of their brethren, like thee; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them as I shall command him. And whatever man shall not hearken to whatsoever words that prophet shall speak in my name, I will take vengeance on him [see Matthew 7:21]. Deuteronomy 18:18-19
For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me what I should say and what I should speak. John 12:49
For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me what I should say and what I should speak. John 12:49
Lord means lord, not best friend
And why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I tell [you]? Luke 6:46
GOD's law is his will
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 7:21
Re: "Not all who cry out Lord lord"...."Whoever calls on the name of the Lord.."
The Will of the Father is to believe on Jesus.
1 John 3:23-24 (NASB)
[SUP]23[/SUP] This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.
[SUP]24 [/SUP] The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
We can rest in what Jesus has already done for us by grace through faith alone in His finished work. The Holy Spirit will lead us in all things now. The law of love, the law of faith and the law of the spirit of life in Christ is how a Christian lives now and they fulfill all things in us now by the Holy Spirit within us.
We have a complete and secure salvation and life in our Lord Jesus!

Re: "Not all who cry out Lord lord"...."Whoever calls on the name of the Lord.."
But there are those who truly love God and are bound by sin, they hate it and don't want to do it but yet they do ( Romans 7) the only answer to the problem is the cross and it why we must be constantly reminded of the work of the cross, because we get shifted and start placing our faith in other things like water baptism and speaking Hebrew or wearing prayer shawls or you name it, our flesh longs to earn what it can't and yearns to be it's own god. That's why we love law so much because it is what we do rather than what Christ did and yes if you are born again and knock the clothes off the rack at Walmart you will bend down and pick them up and place them back on the rack or if you drop some trash or attempt to throw it out the window the Holy Spirit will say no and you will keep it in your car and throw it away when you get home. When you deal with a rude person you will be polite and so on and so on. The law is in your heart.

Yeah and it also includes
And while we're at it, it also includes abstaining from these these things.
Yeah and it also includes
For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 1 Thessalonians 4:3
And while we're at it, it also includes abstaining from these these things.
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21
