The Jews who practice the Law of Moses and the Gentiles who practice naturally the Law written in their hearts and the Law imparted by their forefathers and also did what was pleasing to their sight, are under the Law of bondage, because due to carnal/flesh and it's fruits are weak to accomplish GOD's Law actual requirements and are automatically ruled by sin and death.
As it is written in Romans of New Testament, a declaration to the Jews and Gentiles alike to repent, that;
"All have sinned and fallen short of My Glory."
JESUS of Nazareth did not live like others, naturally according to the corruption of the carnal/flesh and it's fruits. But HE lived in thinking according to the works of the HOLY SPIRIT and HIS bodily spirit was always obedient to GOD's every Word, that also proceeded out of HIS mouth to the 'lost' and together in one heart, mind, soul and strength, do only HIS will, which HE(JESUS) was sent for to 'accomplish' here on earth.
So JESUS 'accomplished' GOD's Law actual requirements as living the spirit-man that carnal/flesh-man, Jews or Gentiles were in their 'weakness' unable to, or even unable perceive too.
So the ones, the Jews first and then the Gentiles, who were and are born again with CHRIST, not only of water but also the HOLY SPIRIT, actually buried their carnal/flesh and it's fruits desire full lives and have become a new creature. When they at first the Jews who perform this baptism with John the Baptist and CHRIST and after discovering CHRIST as their Redeemer, even declared by John the Baptist himself, followed HIM to a mount.
There in the mount, JESUS sat and declared the sermon and on and on until the book of Revelation, which is also one of 'The Kingdom of GOD is at hand', HIS words/teachings given to, 'everyone then who hears these words and does/practice them are like wise builders', rooted in the established written New Testament, 'as salt and light for the world' who are able to stand the test of times, 'Tribulations' and 'Persecutions'.
These are all given as the New Covenant, GOD makes with HIS 'called out'(sanctified) and 'newly redeemed'(new creation) citizens of Heaven, and as 'The Way, The Truth and The Life, The Only Way To The FATHER, Is By ME'.
That is also the 'Law of CHRIST' of the New Covenant, from JESUS our LORD and from the beginning HE has 'placed servants in charge of them, to see to it that all of them are 'done' and 'labored' in the SPIRIT and as spirit-man.
In departure, 'HE has left for a far away country to be crown as KING of kings' and one day promised, HE will return.
In HIS New Testament, HE gave GOD's Law to the citizens of the 'New Jerusalem of Sarah', the Heavenly descendants of Abraham. In them consists of Laws, given for Law 'abiding' faithful citizens, HIS 'commandments', 'rules' and 'instructions' and also prophecies to 'stay watch' and 'be alert'.
HE gave all of them and sum them up, by declaring the same two commandments to HIS disciples, saying;
1. "Love thy GOD with all your heart, mind, soul and strength."
2. "Love thy neighbor."
Isn't the given Law of CHRIST, HE called us to practice/do and grow as the spirit-man by forsaking carnality/fleshly fruits of second death, fulfills this Two Commandments?
As it is written;
"My sheep hear My voice and they follow Me. ................................."
Please do a thorough check in the New Testament and a 'check list' about the HOLY SPIRIT's duty for us.
"HE only speaks what CHRIST and the Apostles of CHRIST spoke and have spoken."
'As a reminder' and 'a stir up of memory', not to be deceived and remain faithful and practice and practice and practice and become perfect.
When carnality/fleshly fruits remain also in practices and mixed with the SPIRIT's, isn't there a war going on in a believer that stops them from doing what they want to do (Galatians chapter 5)?
Aren't they 'hostile' to GOD, unable to fulfill the New Covenant in us?
As a 'reality check' of calling ourselves as believers and faithful to CHRIST and who honor HIM, have we crucified the 'flesh' with it's 'passions' and 'desires'?
CHRIST words is witnessing our lives of 'hypocrisy' and 'lawlessness', even in this forum.
We are declaring here day to day, as witnesses taught according to the written and established Holy Scriptures and as unworthy servants in service only to HIS 'learning and practicing lambs and sheep', a 'HOLY' and 'RIGHTEOUS' and a 'CONSUMING FIRE' GOD to face one day.
Not to Pharisees who boldly remain and brag in the 'flesh and it's passions and desires', mixed with the given gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT and are also witnessing as 'babes in CHRIST',still drinking 'milk'.
In the 'flesh-man', we are Pharisees and in the 'spirit-man' we are infants, still drinking 'milk'.
Please read 'the sower and the seeds' in the Gospel of Luke, and note the 'third' ground that the message of GOD fell. They are those who got choked with the world, lived to the necessities and pleasures that the world provided and 'their fruit never ripen'.
Also about those so close to them, in the book of Revelation, to one of the church, the LORD declared as 'lukewarm' and;
"I will spit you out."
"I wish you were either 'hot' or 'cold' and not 'lukewarm'."
Twelve years old, already JESUS was about HIS Heavenly FATHER's 'business', and amazing 'grown ups'.
As it is written in the final, in order to 'wake up from our sleep', that;
"Do not put to test the LORD thy GOD."
Also three times in the book of Hebrews, is written that;
"If you hear GOD's voice today, do not be heart-harden, or you will never enter HIS place of rest."
Please ignore 'me' and realize your 'self' with the 'words' of CHRIST, who we will all be facing and are answerable individually, on judgement day. i hope we make peace with him now before we perish with the world unrepented or unrepentant.
JESUS said to the carnal/flesh Pharisees that day and as a reminder to those who remain in carnal/flesh 'passions' and 'desires' Pharisees today;
"Since you claim to 'see', you will die with your sins unforgiven."
