You will.

But the Pharisees kept His commandments too.

Law keeping does not mean a right relationship with God.

It’s a matter of the heart, not the outward appearances.

[MDLION]

“Law keeping does not mean a right relationship with God.”

Of course it does. It’s the beginning of a right relationship with God. The woman at the well asked Jesus for the living water, the holy Spirit. He immediately says go get your husband. I have no husband she says. You are right in saying you have no husband for you have had five and the one you are living with now is not your husband, he replies.

She wants the holy Spirit, she wants a living relationship with God and He IMMEDIATELY goes at the sin in her life which prevents her from having or even beginning a right relationship with Him.

[Philsworld]

——>But the Pharisees kept His commandments too.

Not because they loved Christ.
