Please let me add, I never said that Jesus Christ can be ignored by the non-Jew. That is no part of biblical theology. The point is what is the teaching he is giving to His Jewish children about obedience is Law this is not the Gospel. As He says towards the end of His three years, “This is the work of my Father, that you believe in Me.” Not, forgive or you won’t be forgiven, etc. That is the Law and the Prophets. Read the so-called Golden Rule at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, He says, this is the Law and the Prophets. Grace is yet to be poured out...
“The point is what is the teaching he is giving to His Jewish children about obedience is Law this is not the Gospel.”
The Apostle John didn’t get the message:
“1-2 I write these things to you (may I call you “my children”—for that’s how I think of you), to help you to avoid sin. But if a man should sin, remember that our advocate before the Father is Jesus Christ the righteous, the one who made personal atonement for our sins (and for those of the rest of the world as well).
3-6 It is only when we obey God’s laws that we can be quite sure that we really know him. The man who claims to know God but does not obey his laws is not only a liar but lives in self-delusion. In practice, the more a man learns to obey God’s laws the more truly and fully does he express his love for him. Obedience is the test of whether we really live “in God” or not. The life of a man who professes to be living in God must bear the stamp of Christ.” - 1 John 2
There is no separation between belief and obedience. If you don’t obey - not perfectly, but there is an eternity of difference between sinning sometimes and sinning cheerfully - then you do not believe.
We do not work to earn salvation, but we are saved to do good deeds:
“No one can pride himself upon earning the love of God. The fact is that what we are we owe to the hand of God upon us. We are born afresh in Christ, and born to do those good deeds which God planned for us to do.” - Ephesians 2
“The life of a man who professes to be living in God must bear the stamp of Christ.”
