What do y'all think?

Romans 3:27-31

New Living Translation

27 Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith. 28 So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.
29 After all, is God the God of the Jews only? Isn’t he also the God of the Gentiles? Of course he is. 30 There is only one God, and he makes people right with himself only by faith, whether they are Jews or Gentiles.[a] 31 Well then, if we emphasize faith, does this mean that we can forget about the law? Of course not! In fact, only when we have faith do we truly fulfill the law.


Romans 7:10

Authorized (King James) Version

10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

When reading this Chapter, and others, be careful to distinguish what God commanded, and what Paul said himself. Not all of what Paul said was a Commandment from God. Thus the reason for so many disputations among believers.

10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.


12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. )

Important to distinguish Paul's advice from God's Commandments to truly understand Scripture

Yeah I agree. When you have been saved then you have been accepted by God, through faith and He puts His spirit within you giving you more of a drive to know and obey Him. The desire for God begins growing more and more and the desire for sin is loosened or lessened.

This is one of those evident things that a Christian knows, but doesn’t usually explain.

through the liberty and confidence we now can live by knowing we have a propitiation for our sin in Jesus, we should desire to live by the law of Gods kingdom in a state of worship rather than to continue living by the ideas and philosophies of society and the culture,

Doesn't Paul always say "say I not the Lord" when he does this?

Paul, saw, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, the demons know the truth about God. yet they do not exercise Faith in God, and know the truth, as many people do this too
Talk out of two sides of thier mouths
Worship with their lips and yet their hearts are far from trust to God to lead them in truth, love and mercy.
Me looking, trusting for "The art of fighting without fighting"
To be given this truth as Jesus had and went to that cross willingly. Amazing, then risen and was seen by those that got him killed, amazing
Col 1 and 2 has much to say about this, at least to me
Thanks
To be made wise as a serpent and remain harmless as a dove
