[QUOTE="Soyeong, post: 70242123, member: 375022"] God sent his Son so that we would be free to obey the law that we might me its righteous requirement (Romans 8:3-4). As part of the New Covenant, we are still told to do what is holy, righteous, and good (1 Peter 1:14-16, 1 John 3:10, Ephesians 2:10), so we still need to know and abide by God's revealed standard for how to have such a conduct. Jesus fulfilled the law in the same sense that Romans 15:18-19 says that Paul fulfilled the gospel, namely that he taught full obedience to it, not that he did away with it. Someone saying that Jesus kept the law so that we don't have to would be like saying that Jesus loved God and others so that we don't have to. Rather, the Bible tells us to follow his example and to walk in the same way that he walked. If you say that it is sometimes good to avoid keeping God's law, then it is pretty straightforward that you are saying that it is sometimes good to disobey God. In regard to Isaiah 64, it is a complaint about the hiddenness of God and people want Him to rend the heavens and come down to make His presence known (64:1-2). God did awesome public miracles in the past, but now there have been no miracles, and the people await the miracle of the restoration of Jerusalem to glory (64:3-5). Verse 6 is not a divine dismissal of our good deeds, but rather it is a complaint by the people that they feel their good deeds have been overlooked. They feel unclean and rejected by God and even though they have done good deeds, they have not seen the miracle of restoration that was promised earlier in Isaiah. Earlier parts of Isaiah encourage them to cease doing evil and to do good deeds, that they will be blessed by God, that their prayers are powerful and will be answered before they speak them, so Isaiah 64:6 is not saying all those things are worthless in God's eyes. God does not despise the good deeds of His people, but rather He teaches us to do them. The reality is that the righteous deeds of the saints are like fine white linen (Revelation 19:8).
