“Keeping the commandments” (viewed CORRECTLY which is independent of your Judaizing mis-theology, i.e. there are valid Gentile implementations of this) follows from receiving love from Him.
SOMETHING of obedience should and will be seen in a Christian life, yes.
PERFECTION is not attained in this world, and we are forgiven for where we fall short. Not excused — forgiven. We know that it’s sin. We become perfect only in glory.
Confess it! You want the proud power position of putting people behind an eight ball that you jolly well know they won’t be out from behind until they reach glory. Jesus had very brown words for the Pharisees who did this. They were trying to interpose themselves between God and the people, like you are trying to do so now with your idiosyncratic, eisegetic theology.
The power position belongs ONLY to Jesus. And when He forgives He forgives, and when He guides He guides. You conflate your Judaizing with God’s actual plan.
Very well said.
Revelation 3
[3] Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
"Watching" is following the feasts that prepare his believers for every event of significance in his time table. He has promised to come like a thief in the night to those that do not keep his feasts, and thus have no idea what is is going on. No one that understands his feasts is looking for a secret rapture, nor expecting to sidestep the tribulation. These errors are for the fools that use words like "legalism," and "Judaizing."
