This is a re-post from the previous page as I thought it relavent here.
No one is saved or do they remain in a justified state before God by following after God's LAW. The role of God's LAW is to give us the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN AND RIGHTEOUSNESS *
ROMANS 3:20;
ROMANS 7:7;
JAMES 2:9-11;
PSALMS 119:172. They make nothing perfect but show us who we all are, sinners in need of a Savior. They lead us to Christ that we might be FORGIVEN by faith and lead us to depend soley on the WORD of GOD for salvation.
The FRUIT of true faith however is LOVE and LOVE results in OBEDIENCE to God's LAW *
ROMANS 13:8-10;
ROMANS 3:31;
JOHN 14:15;
1 JOHN 2:3-4. If your faith does not have the fruit of OBEDIENCE that works by LOVE, JAMES says it is dead and not saving faith *
JAMES 2:18-20;26.
No one is in a justified state before GOD if they are continuing in a life of KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN because they have rejected the gift of God's dear son neither do they know GOD or have his Spirit and are in danger of the judgment to come. *
HEBREWS 6:4-8;
1 JOHN 2:3-4; ACTS 2:38;
HEBREWS 10:26-27;
ROMANS 6:23.
We are told in the last days many will have a form of Godliness but will deny the power thereof from such turn away
2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5.
God's power is to save us from sin it is not for us to continue in sin. If we continue in known unrepentant sin we will die because we reject the gift of God's dear son and deny God's power to save us from our sins. *
ROMANS 6:23;
JOHN 8:31-36
