Transgressor - Works of Iniquity - Willful Sin - Consequences

[MessageOfTheCross]

A transgressor

“18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed (revert back to the Law), I make myself a transgressor. (To revert to any type of Law is a departure from God’s Prescribed Order of Victory [the Cross], and is sin).” Galatians 2:18

Works of iniquity

“21 Not every one who says unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (the repetition of the word “Lord” expresses astonishment, as if to say: “Are we to be disowned?”); but he who does the Will of My Father which is in Heaven (what is the Will of the Father? Verse 23 tells us).

22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not Prophesied in Your Name? and in Your Name have cast out devils? and in Your Name done many wonderful works? (These things are not the criteria, but rather Faith in Christ and what Christ has done for us at the Cross [Eph. 2:8-9, 13-18]. The Word of God alone is to be the judge of doctrine.)

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you (again we say, the criteria alone is Christ and Him Crucified [I Cor. 1:23]): depart from Me, you who work iniquity (we have access to God only through Christ, and access to Christ only through the Cross, and access to the Cross only through a denial of self [Lk. 9:23]; any other Message is Judged by God as “iniquity,” and cannot be a part of Christ [I Cor. 1:17]).” Matthew 7:21-23

Willful sin and consequences

“26 For if we sin wilfully (the “willful sin” is the transference of Faith from Christ and Him Crucified to other things) after that we have received the knowledge of the Truth (speaks of the Bible way of Salvation and Victory, which is “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified” [I Cor. 2:2]), there remains no more Sacrifice for sins (if the Cross of Christ is rejected, there is no other Sacrifice or way God will accept),

27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation (refers to God’s Anger because of men rejecting Jesus Christ and the Cross), which shall devour the adversaries. (It is hellfire, which will ultimately come to all who reject Christ and the Cross.)” Hebrews 10:26-27

Willful rejection and consequences

“6 My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no Priest to Me: seeing you have forgotten the Law of your God, I will also forget your children. (“My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” is the cause of all the problems in the church, and the world, for that matter! The “knowledge” spoken of is the Bible. This “lack of knowledge” was not ignorance, but rather a willful rejection of the Law of God. They didn’t know, but it was because they didn’t want to know!)” Hosea 4:6

Wow. Way to add to the Scriptures.

 

[MessageOfTheCross]

There are not many roads or ways that lead to a relationship with God. In fact, there is no other name given under heaven whereby men can be saved but one. That is the precious name of Jesus, who gave His life that all humanity might be saved, at least for those who will believe. The way to God is therefore through a narrow gate, a small door, open to all, but only one person at a time may pass through. Once through that straight gate there lies before the new believer a glorious but difficult road. Nothing could be more magnificent but no road or way will ever demand more from those who choose to travel upon it. It is the way of the Cross. On this path self must be denied, sin must be overcome, the cross is to be embraced daily, and all trust in personal strengths must be laid aside. This is a difficult way, a narrow way, the way less traveled. But the pleasure and strength that is found along the path is joy unspeakable and the grace freely given for the journey is outstandingly awesome. The sad fact remains that there are precious few that will choose this road. Are you one?

Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: (14) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Wow. Way to add to the Scriptures.

1 Corinthians 2:4-5 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: (5) That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

“18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed (revert back to the Law), I make myself a transgressor. (To revert to any type of Law is a departure from God’s Prescribed Order of Victory [the Cross], and is sin).” Galatians 2:18

I don't know where to start, I'm sure you actually believe what you are preaching here, or what some preachers has shown you, but hopefully you posted so folks could weigh in. So here goes.

Prior to the Sacrifice of Jesus, what were the "Work's of the Law" for justification of sins? What did the JEWS "do" to have their sin's cleansed before Jesus was crucified?

When a man sinned after Moses, what "works of the Law" were given to remove his sin? Did Moses command that if I sinned, I must "Love my neighbor as myself" and my sins will be atoned for? Did He say "Don't Kill" and my sins would be justified?

Well not according to the Word of God which became Flesh. According to HIM, after Moses, if a man sinned they were to go find a Levite Priest, who would then perform Levitical Priesthood sacrificial, ceremonial "Works" according to the Laws given to the Levites, for the remission of sins. This was the only way to be made righteous.

Many Jews didn't believe Jesus was the Prophesied Messiah, they didn't believe in HIS Blood which the Levitical Priesthood foreshadowed in the first place. As a result they continued to force their version of the "Law of Moses" on to folks for the remission or justification of their sins. But some Jews, like Paul and Peter understood. So Paul was teaching other Jews who were still wrapped up in their religious traditions about the change in the Priesthood.

Gal. 2:
15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

These Priesthood sacrificial "works", prescribed by Moses for "justification" of sins were no longer valid. As He says later, they were "ADDED" 430 years AFTER Abraham, "Until the Seed should Come". If a man omits these Biblical facts from his mind, they CAN NOT understand what Paul is speaking to here in Galatians.

17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

Remember what Paul taught.

Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, (JEWS) and then to the Gentiles, that they should (ALL) repent and turn to God, and do works meet (Worthy of) for repentance.

And again:

Rom. 6:
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin (Transgression of God's Laws) that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

And again;

Rom. 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

So a "Christian" is one who repents of transgression of God's Laws (His definition of sin) turns to God (The Word's of God, they are Life) and do works (Not ours but His) worthy of this repentance.

Eph. 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

The things I destroyed were not God's Laws which define sin, God forbid. I destroyed my old self who lived in disobedience.

Eph. 2:
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

"Revert back to the Law of God" which I destroyed and make myself a transgressor"? No, it's just the opposite. I revert back to being a child of disobedience, which I had destroyed (Old Man) and make myself a Transgressor.

19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

The wages of sin is death, that is the Law. So I'm dead until a greater power makes me alive again. Which Jesus does to all the truly repentant, that I may now Live to God, instead of living to myself when I was a child of disobedience.

20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ (The Word of God made Flesh) liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, (For justification of my sins) who loved me, and gave himself for me.

21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, ( Atonement by the "works of the Law" given by Moses, "Till the Seed should come") then Christ is dead in vain.

I'm not sure where you got the preaching that repentance means to "destroy God's Laws", I can't find this teaching in the Bible.

If the Believers Faith is placed exclusively in Christ and the Cross, i.e., The Finished Work, i.e., The Blood of Jesus, the Believer will enter into the Lord's rest that is carried out by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:2, Hebrews 4:1). This is the only way that the Holy Spirit will deliver the Believer into the death, burial, and resurrection on Christ so that the life of Christ is manifested through the Believer by the power of the Holy Spirit both to will and to do of his good pleasure (Romans 6:3-5, Romans 8:2, 2 Cor. 4:11, Phil. 2:13). IT IS HIS LIFE THAT BRINGS VICTORY...NOT OURS. JESUS SAID, "YOU CAN DO NOTHING WITHOUT ME! EVERYTHING THAT MAN DOES DIES. EVERYTHING THAT JESUS DOES IS BLESSED AND LIVES AND HAS LIFE!

If the Believer does not understand this, all scriptures become enticing words to the flesh, that will be attempted by the flesh to perform (Romans 8:2-3, 1 Cor. 2:4). The Believer now becomes a transgressor (Gal. 2:18). Under Grace, the Holy Spirit carries out the will of God in the Believer (Romans 8:2). Under the Law, the flesh (your own ability) carry's out the Law of God. Under Grace, the new covenant, if Christ is a Law keeper, than I am a Law keeper because I am in Him (Romans 6:3-5, Gal. 2:20-21).
