exactly, free from the wages of sin, which is death. This is what the Messiah did for us. My point is, after a person comes to a knowledge of this truth - what then?
Knowledge does not save us. It can puff up oneself with false pride by pretending it came from us as if we were in the place of God.. In fact it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come.
If they think keeping a ceremonial law like the Sabbath or one of the eating laws. They would show themselves as those who crucify the Lord of glory over and over as if he had not come in the flesh as part of the first century reformation. Better things accompany salvation things like actual redemption to those who know there is no work they could do to get themselves saved or keep their salvation.
Its hyper grace for every believer .It’s the only kind of grace he freely gives with no cost on our behalf.
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the
rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Is ham (pork) and cheese a rudiment of this world ? Christ told Peter eat. Why did Peter say not Kohsier, was he keeping the law?
Let no man therefore judge you in
meat, or in
drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the
sabbath days:Which are a
shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Col 2:17
If we decide "you shall not murder" is a good law to keep, then why not the other laws?
All of God’s laws are good. The whole Bible is the perfect law of God’s interpretation to us. There are no philosophical theories’ as private interpretations of men.
So when you say laws. The ceremonial laws that have been fulfilled during the reformation?
Those are the kind of laws by which we are not to judge one another because they have been fulfilled. As far as murder it has the same penalty eternal damnation as any other moral law . To violate the least is to be found guilty of the whole . Have you ever sinned?
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in
one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. Jam 2:10
