God's Righteous Judgment
…5But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;…

okay, one more time, y'all...
there's a difference in the job descriptions of God's Law and God's Gospel.
a big difference.
and the failure to distinguish between Law and Gospel pretty much always leads to
abandonment of the Gospel.
the Law gets softened into helpful tips for practical living (go see Tony Robbins for that stuff!)
instead of God's unwavering demand for perfection.
and the Gospel gets hardened into a set of moral demands we must live out
instead of God's unconditional declaration that He justifies the ungodly.
the Law diagnoses sinners, but only the Gospel delivers sinners.
the Law illuminates sin, but only the Gospel eliminates sin.
the Law forces us to face our sin, but only the Gospel forgives our sin.
the Law exposes us, but only the Gospel exonerates us.
the Law accuses us, but only the Gospel acquits us.
thank You, Faithful Father, for providing a Way for us. ♥
thank You for your Grace and Mercy in the Person and Work of our Savior.
please continue, by Your Grace, to enable us to walk in Your Ways.

I thought Moses brought on the 10 commandments???
Exodus 20:1
20 And God spake all these words, saying...
After that, it was God's own hand that wrote them on the 1st set of tablets made from God's own (blue sapphire) stone...which Moses broke...because of the people :/
Exodus 24:9-12
9 Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of lapis lazuli, as bright blue as the sky.
11 But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.
12 The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
11 But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.
12 The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
Then God told Moses to himself supply the tablets of stone that God would write upon the 2nd time. These tablets would make it into the ark.
Exodus 34:1
34 The Lord said to Moses, “Cut two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
The first witness of the law came from heaven...from God alone...and was broken for the people because of their sins.
The second witness of the law came from earth...from *both* God's & man's work...and that witness entered the ark.

lol.. Typical from a lawyer.
John said you could not either, for he said if yuo say you are without sin, you decieve yourself and there is no truth in you.
Paul said he could not, he was a wretched man, I guess you are more perfect than these to apostles of God?
Admitting I am powerless is not the same as excusing. It is when we think we have made it we are excusing. So why do you excuse your sin?

Luke 18:10-14 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Galatians 4:9-11 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
