Its through gods grace and the power of the Holy spirit one follows the law but paul is still saying you must folliw it. Its not through you and your power but gods so no one can boast
Naw Paul’s saying keeping the law saves no one lets try more modern English ?
“Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law,
so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather,
through the law we become conscious of our sin.”
Romans 3:19-20 NIV
And he’s saying now that we’ve been set free from the law we can begin serving God by his spirit.
“So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.”
Romans 7:4-6
“Thou shalt not “ can’t save anyone it can only make you guilty when you sin and do what it says not to do . By not killing anyone I’m not actually doing any command of God I’m just restraining an evil inclination and motive some people have I literally have to not do anything to keep a “Thou shalt not “ the reason it’s like that is because of this
“We also know that
the law is made not for the righteous but
for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for
the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for
whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to us.”
1 Timothy 1:9-11 NIV
You tell killers
don’t kill and you tell liars don’t lie adulterers don’t commit adultery ect ect your telling them what they
better not do
In the gospel we find out what God actually wants us to do and how he wants us to live and treat other people . Don’t stone people for thier sins like Moses commanded in the law forgive those who sin against you like Jesus taught in the gospel
don’t repay evil for evil and blow for blow and eye for eye
like Moses taught in the law , turn the other cheek and bless those who persecute you
like the lord Jesus taught in the gospel ect
jews are beloved by the lord like everyone else is now and he’s made a way for every Jew and gentile to be saved . Problem is many reject it both Jew and gentile . He’s the only way
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but
he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
It doesn’t say “ Jews who don’t believe the gospel will be damned it says this if all creatures jew and gentile . “ all inclusive
cant cling to Judaism and also accept the gospel it doesn’t work there are two covenants one was broken like god told them it would be when he gave it to them …..but he made a new one with them now they have a new mediator not Moses but Jesus who’s all creations lord and king including thiers .
