Yet, you excuse yourself from
Luke 12:32-33.
Do you think that counts as following Jesus in the flesh?
No, Jesus was addressing worries that the disciples had and reassuring them in
Luke 12:22-33. Not understanding in the flesh part? But that seems to be your go-to verse. Wouldn't it be better to:
Luk 12:31
“But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things[fn] shall be added to you.
What is Paul saying about Jesus in these verses? what does Roman 3: 22 mean?
Rom 3:21
But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
Rom 3:22
even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all[fn] who believe. For there is no difference;
Rom 3:27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.
Rom 3:28
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.
Rom 3:29
Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also,
Rom 3:30
since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
Rom 3:31
Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.
