Nope...YOU don't get it...The law IS established...It is our schoolmaster...
How are your sins atoned for when you violate the Law??? And don't say you don't because you would be a liar???
We show our love to God by keeping his commandments.
Nope again...We can love God without keeping all his commandments...In fact, we don't keep his commandments...We can't...We're not capable...That's why Jesus died...So he could pay the price instead of us...
One thing Jesus did was to give us a conscious knowledge to know when we broke the law...He put the law on our hearts...So that hopefully we can feel remorse and ask for his forgiveness...
Saved by grace (faith alone), THEN, judged by the law/works. That is what the bible teaches.
Jesus was already judged by the law for us so we wouldn't have to be...Because he knew we would fail at the judgment...
Saved by grace (faith alone), THEN, judged by the law/works. That is what the bible teaches.
Yes it does, in certain places, when addressing the Jews...But in Romans chapter 3 God switched that around...You ever read Romans 2 and 3???
Rev 22
7Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
1 Pet 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
James 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Eccl 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Eccl 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Nope again...We can love God without keeping all his commandments...In fact, we don’t keep his commandments...We can’t...We’re not capable...

Matthew 7:13
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
Luke 13
22And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
ALL YE WORKERS OF INIQUITY....that’s sin.
Iscool to God: “But I was told I wasn’t CAPABLE of keeping your commandments.”
I’m not sure where or if I referenced a new covenant...You mind pointing out that post???
In post 111, you said “He put the law on our hearts...So that hopefully we can feel remorse and ask for his forgiveness...”
Putting the law on our hearts (and in our minds) is a direct reference to the new covenant. Please tell me where you got that from in the bible.
