1 John 2:4 If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Galatians 3:21

ESV

 

Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.

 

 

By the law, we learn that we are not able to keep to God's standard and must be saved in another way.

That other way is through faith in Christ.

Once He arrived, this salvation was available to all people, including non-Jewish Gentiles.

Why aren’t these OSAS/OJAJ, easy peasy beleavy, microsecond of grace, one and done, born again Christians going to heaven?

Matthew 7:21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
