You are misunderstanding me. I NEVER SAID THAT YOU GET SAVED BY KEEPIN THE LAW WITH YOUR OWN EFFORTS. That's impossible to be done. In no way can it be done.
You are saved by FAITH.
"It is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast"- ephesians.
But now that you have faith, you don't WILFULLY break His law! True faith is the faith that works by love! And to love God is "that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous"- 1 john 5:3. I am not telling you to get saved by your own efforts. I am just trying to share with you that you make transgressing the Ten Commandments a light thing. A thing not to be concerned about. Judgement is based at the end on your works! "Behold, i come quickly, to give every man according as his work shall be"- revelation 22:12.
True believers are those that love God and because of their love keep His commandments: "if ye love Me, keep My commandments"- John 14:15.
Please understand what we arw trying to share with you before you argue. This is why as EGW said, that the condition of eternal life is obedience to the Law. This is how it is:
Because wicked, do not keep the law.
Righteous, being righteous by faith, because of the Holy Spirit, keep the Law. They don't keep it by their own power! They keep it by the power of God. Not by their own efforts.
Revelation 22:14 is clear: "Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city".
Just because you got faith now, you don't triffle with His mercy and break His law as if it was some small thing.
What you think of Jesus' command by the way. This was a COMMAN: "be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven as perfect." Matthew sermon on the mount.
So please. You got faith. Now you are supposed to love the Lord with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Loving God is obeying Him. "He that saith, i know Him, and keeps not His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him"- 1 john 2:4.
Your faith is DEAD if you don't perfect it with works:
"Faith without works is death."- James 2:20.
If you boast to have faith , without works, i will tell you "i will show you my faith by my works"- james 2:18
Suppose that Abraham believed God, but did not venture to leave his family and go to the land of Cannan. How's that believing God?! Suppose that moses believed God, but did not go to egypt to OBEY God in pulling the children out of the land of Egypt. If that's the case, than how can you say that Moses belived God. Well We are saying he believed, how come he did not go to Egypt and obey God's purpose?
Even so "faith if it hath not works is dead".
"Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? -James 2:22"
My faith is being made perfect by obeying His law. You have agreed to the first half of the story. But the second half that tells you that obedience to God is necessary, you throw away. I perceive you do this:
1. You are deceived and have been truthfully ignorant about this fact of obedience to God.
2. You are just arguing back, because the idea of obeying God does not sound "tickling" to your ears. The idea that keeping a day holy for God for His pleasure and purpose you cannot handle, because you want to do YOUR WILL.
It's either point 1 , or point 2. You know your hearts. What TRULY is the purpose of your heart for arguing that you don't have to keep the Law? I shared the verses above. You can't go a shortcut around that! The Bible says so. Now i know that, and i am following what the Bible says. What will YOU do?
"Behold, i come quickly, and my reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be."- revelation 22:12.
When it comes to city of heaven, Jesus wants the purest pure: remember the parable, how he will seperate the sheep from the goats? A small sin, as eating a fruit of the forbidden tree, caused woe and misery and destruction. When the Bible tells you that "the wages of sin is death"- romans 6:23 please believe it. No sin is allowed to enter into heaven. You gotta repent! And true repentance and forsaking sin in your heart! Repent is to change your mind about sin! Well how you are saying you repented, when you are clinging to make it okay to break God's Law? You were supposed to repent! Jesus tells you," by my power, you can bring forth fruit" that was a paraphrasing of John 15:1-5.
Thank you for reading. I hope you see the unreasonablenes that you keep on doing about ignoring basic Bible facts.
