The Law was put in charge to lead us to Christ. The purpose of the Law was NEVER to make man righteous by adhering to it. It was put in place to show us God’s requirements and that we could not reach them.

Yes, and to add to that and clarify, the government of Israelites under the Law of Moses was a ministry of eternal condemnation and everlasting death (2 Corinthians 3:6-11).

In sending a human to Hell and unceasing torment, The God is entirely holy and just, for the human has no excuse for committing a sin even once. Total failure of any attempt to earn one's own way to Heaven is a forgone conclusion--it cannot be done.

In hearing the plea of a totally depraved human--as all are--with Jesus the Anointed King as one's Advocate before God as the Judge, The Mighty God is faithful and just to vacate and abandon the indicted charges.

When thus the tainted human depends on the atonement-washing of Jesus' shed blood alone, one's eternal life is assured and secured on the basis of the one-time exculpatory offering of/by Jesus, and on no other plea or excuse whatsoever, because The God will then clear the human's rap sheet and cleanse the record of all unrighteousness through the penalty fully paid by the Substitute.

Further supererogatory works are neither desired, required, or accepted, but rather rejected, and that with terminal prejudice.

All one has to do is to apply for salvation and everlasting life, with no ideas of renegotiating the terms, looking back on past good deeds, or arguing with the Judge.

Be advised. Applications still accepted, but the window is closing.

Following Torah is righteousness by Yehova’s definition.

If you confess not every word of Torah, you are unrighteous by Yehova’s words.

Transgression of Torah is Yehova’s definition of sin.

No wonder Yeshua said few would find his narrow path. It is the most hated element of life for most that call themselves “christian.”
