One of the members here, and I, have been having a discussion about "the law" for a few days.
This person, along with many believers, has been taught, this...
"the reason we are born again , is ...so that we can go now and keep the law perfectly".
So, this particular theology, where Salvation is being Legalized, is a very common belief. Its actually a broken faith.
This pursuit of : "God saved us, so that we can now go and keep the law perfectly, (try)".
Well, this is wrong on so many levels.....theologically, spiritually, and especially >faith related.
This terrible theology absolutely contradicts everything the Cross was raised to Accomplish, and did through the blood of Jesus, 2000 yrs ago.
So, let me post the harmful theology and then give you the correct teaching.
1.) The person says...>"we are saved so that we can now keep the law".
However....
Paul says.....>"Christ has redeemed us from the CURSE of the Law".
This means that the Law is not for us, it was always against us, and designed with a purpose.
The purpose of the Law, was not for anyone to keep it as New Testament Discipleship, but rather MOSES gave us the law, and the law is a Righteous Mirror that Reflects our sinfulness against us.
The Law shows us that we are NOT RIGHTEOUS, as its main purpose to exist.
Repentance, is seeing ourselves as unrighteous, lost, damned, and that is the LAW shining that spotlight. And in this hot light, we see ourselves as needing to be rescued.
The NT words for that is SAVED/Redeemed/Born again.
And in comes God on the Cross to save us.
Are you born again?
And again, a person says..
2.) "God saved us so that we can now go and keep the law".
Now, hear Paul... "brethren, you are become DEAD TO THE LAW, that you should be married to another, even Him who was raised from the Dead, = that we the born again should bring forth fruit to God.".
Now see that verse?
It is telling you a lot.
Its telling you that you are dead to the law. That means it has no power over you, or in you, and you are not to seek it or chase it, or worship it.
Notice, that if you are born again, you have left the law, and are MARRIED TO JESUS.
So, what that means is.......before you were saved, you were in a "curse" of trying to be accepted by God, by keeping the law. And you can't. And that is the CURSE that Jesus came to redeem you from...
See that?
So, why would you want to go back to the curse, after Christ shed His blood to free you from the LAW?
A.) Ask the pulpits that teach this lie to their people.
Notice carefully that the theological error says..."we are saved to keep the law".
Yet Paul says..."we are saved so that the born again should bring fruit to God">
So, are those the same thing?
They are not.
See, keeping the law, is what your try to do, same as keeping commandments.
Thats all self effort.
Paul says, we are to bring fruit to God, and that is Christ as the VINE and us as the BRANCHEs, with the end result, "spiritual fruit", as HOLINESS.
WE are bringing this to GOD, as this is SPIRITUAL Fruit.
That's WHY we are "dead to the law" but alive to Jesus The Lord, > married to Him, forever.
And He's coming soon for you, if you are born again.
Keep an eye out for that soon day.
Next.
All religious Jews, believe that they are married to the law.
Paul says, that the laws is their curse, and once they are delivered from it, they are married to Jesus The Christ.
So, when your are talking to a jew about Jesus, many think that to turn to Him, is to commit adultery against their 1st husband, = the law.
Now, very important reader, is to understand that if you are married to Jesus....which is to be "made righteous" by His blood that makes you His body and Bride, then if you leave this faith and truth, and try to go back to the Law to keep it, that is to try to be again married to it, just like those religious Jews who crucified Christ.
See how that works in the Spirit realm, and in the Kingdom of God. ??????
You dont ever want to be that deceived one.
And yet, there are millions of believers who are born again, married to Christ, and are trying to keep the LAW so that God will be happy with them, when this Same GOD died on the Cross to deliver you from the "curse of the law".
See the problem?
This is a big deal, reader.
Its a very BIGGIE, as its a spiritual line crossed.
Listen....
Never try to keep the law, if you are born again, thinking you are pleasing God in your effort to be a law-keeper to be or stay accepted by Him.
When you do that, you have rejected God's GRACE that is the BLOOD ATONEMENT, and you have married the "curse" again with your FAITH.
If you do this as born again, you are "in the flesh", "bewitched", and "fallen from Grace".
You end up in heresy, and you will find yourself under the dominion of the law, that is this curse.
= This curse works like this reader. "The POWER OF SIN....is the LAW".
See that POWER?
I'll paraphrase... If you try to keep the law in an effort to be right with God, then the law will empower you carnality and you will sin and confess and sin and confess for as long as you are in that wrong mind of faith.
Millions of believers live in this "curse" all their life, till they die.
Now, here is how you see the law and commandments, correctly according to the NEW Covenant., ("time of the Gentiles".)
You do not try to keep them so that you stay saved, and you do not try to keep them, so that you go to heaven..
If that is your faith, and you are born again, then get out of that mind, as that is a curse you are chasing.
Never see the law or commandments like that, >as a savior along with Jesus<, as that wrong FAITH puts you under the law's dominion. And that law will curse you with its "power" and you will sin and confess and cant stop sinning.
Is that you?
Then LISTEN.
The only way you are to SEE the law and commandments as a born again believer, is to think of them as you would tell your youngest child...just like this.."honey....baby...dont touch that hot stove burner....see it??...its RED HOT...and that means it will burn you, if you touch it".
See that reader?
That is how you are to see the Law and Commandments... they are the behavior and lifestyle border, they are the hot red line you never cross. They are the safety net and the warning siren that you never bypass, because if you do, your life will catch on fire and you will suffer the heat as "reaping what you have sown", and that is going to hurt.
"be sure your sin will find you out"...... this wont happen in eternity, as Jesus has taken care of your sin on Earth.
But if you sin, if you choose carnal behavior and dont stop, wont stop, this is the problem carnality...... then you have seeded deeply in the spiritual realm, by doing something in the physical realm, and so the reaping will come to you, and find you.
"sowing and reaping" is 24/7.
That is why you keep those 10 commandments.
The best way to keep the 10, is to always do the 1st.
If you always do the First Commandment, then God will give you the Grace to always do the 2nd.
That's Salvation as your daily routine, if you are "working it out" right.
