THe law shows Gods moral perfection. Unfortunately no man could keep it. IT was ten simple rules. But no man under the sun could could keep it. No man could stand before God and say I have kept your law and obeyed it to the fullest. Not even His chosen people. Even after being saved from Egypt the sought the advice of Baal and the Ashtaroth. Even after God killed 185,000 thousand Syrians of trained war, without Hezekiah lifting a sword. Even after Jesus said "it is finished" we still look to what flesh can do. If you read 2 Samuel you will see the war between flesh and Spirit. If you read Romans you will see the war between flesh and Spirit. The sin nature is ever prevalent in us and the only way to overcome is faith placed in the cross and nothing else. Not your good works, not keeping Sabbath, not tithing, not fasting, not forty days of puropose, not cleaning parks or giving clothes to the homeless. It is by faith in the cross, Yet with our faith in the cross we will feed the hungry and clothe the naked, these are the fruits of faith in the cross. The fruit does not abolish the means, The means is the cross.
