Then we are not saved by grace, but by works, There is no way around this fact, If you say works are required to keep saved, you are teaching salvation by works.
Do you see if in the abrahamic covenant, In the davidic, In the new? Of course not.
Jesus did not say you wil have eternal life if you stay good and do all these works, He said IF you have faith in him.
Jesus did not say in john 6 you will never die and live forever if you do all these works, and keep in them, He said if we believe in him, and that he said was the work of God
Your making the new covenant a conditional covenant, Eternal life conditional life.
If the law could not save us, What makes anyone think a new law could save us, we could not keep the first, what makes us think we can keep any other.
The law still stands, if we want a conditional covenant, we have the law. And thats it,, And we have failed.. it will conbdemn you, That why paul taught so much against works..
if you want law, you will fail, I will fail, we will both fail and suffer the doom of hell..
or receive grace.
those are our only two options.
