“The law is not about penalty, it is “instruction in righteousness.””
But the penalty is about infraction of the law.
Do you pick the fly poop out of the pepper just to be argumentative?
Thank God Jesus died to pay my penalty. And yours.
He paid the penalty for sin committed in ignorance, not for deliberate sin committed after we are given the knowledge.
Many attempt to stretch “grace” to cover those sins, but there never was any offering therefor.
Read Peter’s and John’s epistles and get in line with what they show us.
Peter makes the point well that nobody is “saved” yet, but if we endure in his commandments to the end, we will be saved on that day.
