Now obviously we cannot do all of the above in our own strength as we are all sinners and before we come to Jesus this is all we can possibly do. However, it is the Law of God that is our school master the shows us that we are all sinners and in need of salvation from sin and that the wages of sin is death. The Law of God leads us to the foot of the cross where we can behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world! It is here, as we have complete dependence on the Word of God, and by Faith (believing what God says) simply cling to the promises of God, that forgiveness is claimed.
It is by continuing in the Word of God by complete dependence on the Word of God to do what it says it will do that allows Jesus to work in us so that we can follow him and by Faith Keep
all of His commandments because He alone has written His Laws in our Heart (new covenant).
Now let’s look at it from the perspective of people who believe that God's Law has been being done away and no longer binding today. If there is no Law anymore there is no knowledge of sin because sin is the transgression of God's Law (1John 3:4). If there is no knowledge of sin there is no need of a Saviour. If there is no need of a Saviour there is no salvation. The person is simply lost because God's Word tells us "For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law." (Rom 2:12). Hope this helps those that love God's Word and want to follow Jesus. God's Word clearly describe who His people are. They are the ones that follow Jesus and reveal His love to the World.
"Here is the patience of the saints, here are those that keep the commandment of God and the Faith of Jesus" (Rev 14:12). To Him be the Glory forever and ever Amen.
God's Sheep hear His Voice.....
It's not about us trying to do it this is the works of the law. Its about realizing we cannot do it and by faith letting Jesus do it in us as we have faith in his Word.
