So tell me
What should i do, look to the law for guidance, or look to christ, who loved me and because of that love, empowered me to love others, and by nature of loving others, i will by nature not break commands when i am in an act of loving?
And when i fail to love and put self first (sin) do i need the law to tell me what i should already know? That i put self first, and this sin led me to break other commands, if i focus on just the commands, will i not miss the root of sin whcih caused me to break them in the first place? And thus be in danger of never finding victory? Or thinking i have when i have not?

Vs 6 And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.
Righteousness is a legal term, it means even though abraham was guilty, his sins were not charged against him, he was declared righteous,
I am not accusing you, I am hunting for a tiny bit of information I thought you might be able to provide for me so, Different question. Do you happen to know if when Paul was teaching follow one law, follow all laws, if he was referring to the law of Moses or the Law of the kingdom of God?

That is not part of the law
But it is god telling us where to focus our minds, in bearing each others burdens, not the letter of the law.
If the letter of the law was sufficient, god would not need to tell us things like love, bear each o5ers burdens, seek after things of the spirit
He would just tell us, obey he law look to it, focus on it, and you will be ok.
He does not do that, because the law can not do that, that was not the laws purpose, you said that yesterday, (it is a schoolmaster to lead us to christ) why don't you believe what you say
So my questions was, is being righteous the same as being saved, or is salvation thrust upon us whether we want it or not.
(I'm trying to make you think it through as it has implications in other areas.)
Not at all. You live up to my expectations. It`s just that your phony apology decieved me for a minute. Hurt my feelings a little when I saw it for what it was.

Can you give an example?
And note
Commiting adulty is sin, we should not break that command, my point is, how do we follow this law? By following the letter, or by some other means?
Hi PM, I am not in this food fight, but slander is the spoken word and libel the written word.. Just sayin….

What appology are you talking about?
Get over yourself dude. If i make a mistake i will apologize, it does not mean i will stop showijg what i believe, no matter how much that belief offends you.
You are preaching salvation by works.
Justification is not earned through our own works; rather, we are covered by the righteousness of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8; Titus 3:5).
Correct. So Abram was not Saved. Our friend says he was. I'm calling him out.
