Before Jesus die Mankind was held responsible for the sins they committed -----when a person sinned there was going to be a judgement coming ---
Leviticus 5 --Guilt offering
17 “If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible.
18 They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the wrong they have committed unintentionally, and they will be forgiven.
19 It is a guilt offering; they have been guilty of[
e] wrongdoing against the Lord.”
I say
If the laws are still in place today ----then we would have to bring a guilt offering the priest ---so the priest could make atonement for the wrong we have committed -----there would be no hope for an eternal life ----we would all be doomed to torment -----as the blood of animals only covered sin for a year ---
Hebrews 9
English Standard Version
22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood,
and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
So I say -----------Thanks Be to God for the New Covenant and Jesus paying for what we deserve ------Salvation is under the New Covenant of Grace -----Jesus is the way to eternal life
your missing that
Christians also are going to be held accountable according to what Jesus said in the gospel
The law of Moses is about sin , Christians are going to have to answer to the gospel and what Jesus teaches it’s not about sin it’s now about our deeds good or bad According to Christs word
“For
we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”
2 Corinthians 5:10-11 KJV
It’s not just that Jesus died for our sins under law it’s the at he gave us a better word to believe and know God by He taught us the truth bout the true God that offers eternal life. All we have to do is believe what he said and follow after it because we do believe in him being the Lord
we’re still going to be held accountable for what we do in Christ that’s why he teaches us things like this because we are certainly going to answer to Jesus for every word and deed he taught us to do this and be this
“But
love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Judge not, and
ye shall not be judged:
condemn not, and
ye shall not be condemned:
forgive, and
ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Luke 6:35-38
If we won’t forgive others , if we point out everyone’s flaws and sins and demand they pay thier due , if we are accusers , then when we appear before Jesus to receive our deeds done good or bad that’s the same judgement we’re going to receive from Jesus hats what he himself said
so what saves a sinner is to start learning his teachings like this one in the gospel and accept Jesus Christ’s words about what will save believers like receiving his mercy for us and also and equally important start offering the same mercy to those who have wronged us or done wrong otherwise.
“For
if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
But
if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:14-15 KJV
no Christian shoild
Be able to not accept that it’s Jesus Christ’s teaching. Because we have to answer for what we do
Once we come to Jesus we have to learn the judges judgements and start repenting and walking in them like we have to start being merciful in every possible way to others that’s our part
and the thing is whatever Jesus said in the gospel is forever so if we believe we can start knowing the judgement we all face Ahead of time and can repent and start following the lords will and be confident in salvstion.
“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little
children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.”
1 John 3:16-19 KJV
we still have accountability but. Ow it’s to the gospel doctrine of mercy for the merciful because all
Have sinned and are gonna be held to account
