Why is it some scripture is believed but not all scripture together which makes up the 'whole' word of God? You want to pound Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. And how do we establish that law? THROUGH FAITH Then you come in and say this - directly contrary to the word of God - 'A law that is established is certainly not abolished or nailed to the cross'. But yet God's word tell us this:
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; . . . . . . .
Grace is NOT A REWARD for not sinning . . . that just about makes me sick to my stomach. Grace is God's unconditional, unmerited love toward us and God doesn't just love when we do not sin - we need his love more when we do err and to help keep us from erring.
I think we all know what sin is because without the law there is no sin - without the law we would not have the knowledge of sin. But let's read - 1 John 3:1-4
Behold, (Behold!!) what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and if doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (this is the only time we will be completely sinless - law or no law) And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
So beautiful . . . .
