Really? Okay then - are you claiming you don't break the Law? Because I'm not going to let you have it both ways.
Do you know why we don't get past it? Because
that's where it ends!
Jesus did
all that was required to not only justify us, but to sanctify us, to keep us saved, and to one day present us faultless before the Father.
You hate the fact that salvation is a gift from beginning to end, don't you? Your pride will not allow you to simply accept what God offers freely - you have to do
SOMETHING to earn it, to help God out, to
PROVE you deserve salvation, to prove you possess salvation, to
keep your salvation.
You take it to a whole other level, Ralph. You are the Grand Inquisitor who judges the fruit of others and pronounces one saved or damned. You are splitting at the seems with self-righteousness, and it's sickening to behold.
Mmm-kay.
"
What are the works that God requires?" And Jesus answered them, "The work of God is this,
to believe in the One He has sent." (John 6:28-29)
Done and done.
And prove ourselves to God? Or to you?
If you add a single requirement to the gospel of salvation, you negate it as gift, and place yourself under a curse for adding to the word of God. You are a Neo-Judaizer, Ralph. Saying we're saved by grace alone without works, and then trying to drag people back under the Law.
"However, to the one
who does not work, but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as
righteousness." (Romans 4:5)
"If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss;
but he himself shall be saved." (1 Corinthians 3:14-15)
Try again, Lawyer.
