Hello Bex!
Once again, I thank you for 'standing firm' for the Gospel of our Sovereign Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, "THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD!"
Isn't it amazing, Bex, how our Lord Jesus is using this particular 'post' about the --"FALSE DOCTRINE OF THE LATTER DAY SAINTS", to inform people of His truths ??!! The Lord just seems to want to keep it surfacing, and REsurfacing, to God be all glory!
It also never ceases to amaze me, Bex, that so many people want to put true Bible believing Christians 'BACK TO FOLLOWING THE LAW!' Which no man can keep the LAW !!!!(meaning, the Old Testament).
Romans 8: Verse 2) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me FREE from the law of sin and death- (given me liberty in Jesus).
Romans- Chapter 7: verse 7... 'The Advantage of the Law'--- "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the Law:...for I had not known lust, except the Law had said, "Thou shalt not covet."
VS 12) The Law is Holy, and the Commandment is Holy, and just and good.--
The main Commandment that all of mankind CANNOT KEEP is Exodus 20:17 "Thou shalt not covet."
The Lord Jesus Christ came to SET US FREE FROM THE LAW, BEING MADE SIN FOR US! Hallelujah!
Romans 8:2 "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
VS 3) For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own SON, in the likenss of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;
vs 4) That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Simply put, Jesus Christ, the one and only begotten Son of God, came to set us free from the Law, being made sin for us. Praise His Name forever! Jesus nailed all of our sins to the cross! WE ARE FREE! ....to serve JESUS!
"Where the spirit of God is, there is liberty (freedom)!
Therefore, let's move on to the GRACE we have in the Lord Jesus.
"God's Righteousness At Christ's Expense"= G-R-A-C-E !
"Forsaking All I Trust In Him" = F-A-I-T-H !
Bex, your posts are absolutely FANTASTIC!
Yes and AMEN! All of the Lord Jesus' Words are for us TODAY, just as they were when He said them.
"Jesus Christ, the SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER!"
Allow me to add this, Bex, if anyone reading this has ever 'committed adultery', we still have 1 John 1:9 , "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteouness."
As with ALL sins, in sincere earnest of our hearts (for the Lord knows our hearts), we must CONFESS the sins, REPENT of them, and TURN away from it. We cannot do this without the help of the Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ.
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
No one can keep ALL of the Commandments.....Jesus nailed our sins to the cross, being made sin for us. Yes, BUT, we do not continue in the sins!
"He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." 1 John 3:8-9
Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." John 3:3.
Thank you, Bex, for all you are doing on this Herb Allure website to give our Lord Jesus glory. Great is your reward.
Blessings, Abishag <><
