For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast
Eph2:8&9
But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. Romans1:21&22
For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Rom1:17
Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness for everyone who believeth Rom10:4
Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law. Rom3:31(take note!)
For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law/righteousness of obeying the law, but under grace/a righteousness of faith in Christ Rom6:14 take note!.
We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles 16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. Gal2:16&17
For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith. Gal3:10&11
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Gal5:6
not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. Phil3:9
For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless, 15 because the law brings wrath. Romans 4:14&15
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it James2:10
Why are you under a curse if you rely on obeying the law?(Gal3:10&11) Because you have to do everything written in the law(everything)
Why does law bring wrath? Because you have to perfectly obey it to be justified under it.
James agrees break one law you are guilty of breaking them all.
The measure you use to judge others will be used to judge you Matthew7:2
The power of sin is the law 1Cor15:56
As you do not fully obey the law, that leaves you in a lot of trouble doesn't it.
Yes, grace changes people, living outside of righteousness of obeying the law, brings far more obedience than preaching judgement based on obeying the ten commandments. That's Paul's core message, but you do not understand it, and you do not quote your verses bearing that in mind.
Believers have but one righteousness, faith in Christ, only through that knowledge can you truly live as God desires you to live, and in that knowledge is victory in your life(Rom3:31&Rom6:14)
Do you even try to obey each and every commandment of Christ in the Gospels?No you don't do you. But you will still quote the letter to tell others they should
The letter of the Ten Commandments does indeed kill, as scripture tells us, if you do not understand that, I wish your eyes could be opened to it. You do know that in order to obey the Ten Commandments you must obey the law that no one but you and God need know you break don't you? And you must perfectly obey it. The letter states: Thou shalt not. No wiggle room for error. Remember Matt7:2
You are all over the place and we have not told any to do anything.
If the law is in the Heart and mind, His Word is in the heart and mouth How can we be separated from it unless we go against that which He has accomplished through His Spirit. It is not us but Christ. For it is God that works in us both to will and do His good pleasure. Behold all things are new and of God and He has given us this ministry of reconciliation, the reformation.
Lo we come in the volume of the book that it is written of us, to do THY will oh God. HE has taken away the first and Established the second. By which we are Sanctified, set apart for Holy use once and for all. Perfecting forever also us whom are sanctified. This perfection the Holy Ghost has also witness for He has said, He will put His laws into our hearts and into our minds and our sins will no longer be brought to remembrance. Because we who have been purged shall have no more conscience of sin for our hearts and minds, Our inner man have been changed. The Way into the holiest of ALL now manifested through the veil that is to say His flesh. Let us draw near having our hearts, who we are sprinkled from that evil conscience, who we were outside of Christ. With Full assurance of the Faith that comes and is of the NEW Heart and mind. Not forsaking one another but Considering one another, and provoking one another in Love and in good works. FOR IF WE keep on SINNING WILLFULLY after we receive the knowledge of what is being shared here there remains no more sacrifice for sins but a fear looking forward to that fiery indignation which shall destroy the adversaries. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of God. But vengeance is His and He will recompense and Judge His people. But we must call into remembrance when we were once illuminated. Cast not away therefore your confidence, that which hath great recompence of reward.
For we have need of patience, cheerfully enduring, after we have done the will of God, we might receive the promise. Now the just shall live by faith, the new heart and mind: but if any man draw back, Be sinning willfully my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition, DESTRUCTION; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Heb 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Heb 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Heb 10:15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Heb 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
Heb 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Heb 10:21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
Heb 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Heb 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)
Heb 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Heb 10:26 For if we are sinning wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Heb 10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Heb 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Heb 10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Heb 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Heb 10:32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
Heb 10:33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
Heb 10:34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
Heb 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
Heb 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Heb 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
Heb 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Heb 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
BTW
Romans2:13 applies to those who live under the law(verse12) if you live under the law you are obviously justified by obeying it, believers do not live under the law
No verse 14 starts with the word "for" which means what follows it is directly connected. It gives the why and or How Gentiles can be judged. God has placed His word, His laws in the heart. So we are without excuse. We know the will of God and will be judged accordingly on the day the God will judge the secrets of man.
Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
Rom 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Rom 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Rom 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another)
Rom 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
