How many of you keep Gods Law?

[dalconn]

I'm gonna have to stand on Philippians 3 for this one

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. [SUP] [/SUP]What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ[SUP] [/SUP]and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.[SUP] [/SUP]I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,[SUP] [/SUP]and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.[SUP] [/SUP]Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.[SUP] [/SUP]Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,[SUP] [/SUP]I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Hi dalconn,

Amen on the scripture.
There's something wrong with your OP though because all who are in Christ will keep God's law.

Thank You Sis, for sharing Jesus' wisdom and your knowledge of it...

I'm not necessarily calling other posters, "liars", but I have to openly admit that I do not keep all of God's law.

I openly admit that I don't keep all of God's law either. I'm talking about the law of Moses. I live in the New Covenant.

I am still in growth, so no I don't completely. When I do, I witness reaping and sowing. When I don't, I witness reaping and sowing. Learning every time!

We all try, we all fall short. That's why we need grace.

We have 2 simplified commandments to live by, and yet these forums are full of people insulting and putting each other down and then you read their sig which gives scripture telling them no to do it.

But we aren't to judge each other, we must use the opportunity for grace to overflow. For every trespass we can forgive even more. May it all glorify God.

As far as I know, the only difference between us and the people of the O.T. is that we don't get stoned to death for it because Lord Jesus is our High Priest to atone for it, and we were given a promise, so that we live by faith which is pleasing to God.

PHIL. 3:-4-5-6.
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath
whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews;
as touching the law, a Pharisee;

Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
'we ask, how can Paul be 'blameless' if he is persecuting the Church, which are 'innocent', they are
serving their Lord... - and Paul's own words tell us that 'all have sinned and come short of the
Glory of God'. - the law that he is accounted 'blameless' for is the (Pharisee tradition-law),
referred to as 'the oral Law'...this is what Paul is counting as 'dung', this position
in his 'former life'...although he keeps 'some Jewish Tradition', he does NOT keep anything that
'over-turns' God's Written Law'...

PHIL. 3:8.
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord:
for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,...

1COR. 6:2-3.
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you,
are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

PHIL. 1:9-10-11.
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence
till the day of Christ;
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

1COR. 1:10.
Now I beseech you, brethren, by The Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing,
and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind
and in the same judgment.

1PETER 4:17.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at The House of God: and if it first begin at us,
what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

 

[Desertsrose]

Well please don't leave me in the dark....do tell

If we truly love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and love our neighbor as ourself then we are obeying the law of God. Love summarizes all of the law and all of the prophets. Love does no harm to its neighbor.

Jesus' great commission told the apostles to go into all the world preaching the Kingdom of God, baptizing them and teaching them to obey all that He has commanded.

Jesus said if we love Him we will obey Him.

Yes, we have our oops moments ........... when we confess our sins, He is just to forgive us and cleanse us from all righteousness.

 

[Yahweh_is_gracious]

I ain't killed anyone in a few days, so I'm 'a doin' pretty good 'bout that law keeping.

 

[oldethennew]

we're glad for you Yah, your temptations seem to be at a minimum at this time...

Matthew 7:
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Are you ready to be judged? I'm nowhere near perfect enough, so I won't judge.

Only the LORD was able to keep the law but we display the fruit of the Spirit,we establish the law.

 

[Grace777x70]

Amen....even the 2 greatest commandments "in the Law" - only Jesus Himself has kept those. Jesus has loved the Lord His God with all His might, heart and mind and He has loved His neighbor as Himself.

We have in the New Covenant 2 commandments - to believe in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and to love one another. 1 John 3:23

Even these commandments come with the hearing of Christ Himself. What God demands - He supplies with Christ Himself.

Romans 10:17 (NASB)
[SUP]17 [/SUP] So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

Would you agree that some believe we should try to keep the law and then we get grace?

 

[MessageOfTheCross]

All laws and commands are kept by the Hoy Spirit when the Believer places their Faith exclusively in Christ and His Finished Work, i.e., The Cross, i.e., The Blood of Jesus. This allows The Holy Spirit the legal means to help and do what needs to be done in the Believer life because they are glorifying Jesus by believing who He is and what He has done.

Two kinds of peace
1. Justifying Peace - This is Peace with God, a legal standing. Rom. 8:7; Eph. 2:14-15

2. Sanctifying Peace - This is the Peace of God in the heart. Rom. 8:6; 14:19; 15:13; Gal. 1:3

The first is the result of a legal standing. The second is the result of the Work of the Holy Spirit. The first is static, never fluctuates, the second changes almost from hour to hour. The first, every Christian has, the second, every Christian may have.

 

[seed_time_harvest]

Yes GOD loves righteousness,JESUS died on the cross satisfying the demand of GOD's law for our sakes.GOD SO loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten son that whosoever believes In HIM would not perish but have Eternal Life.
