Only Jesus give power to over come sin. Rom. 7:24-25.
The 10 was never covering sin. But how would I know sin without the 10?
Acknowledging the law is not to gain salvation, not at all. How can I proclaim to be saved and not keep the law?
What the law cannot do (this would include the entire 613 commandments..not just the 10):
1. It cannont justify:
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that
a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law:
for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
2. It cannot redeem:
Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
3. It cannot give an inheritance:
Romans 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Romans 4:14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
4. It cannot control sin in man
(Romans 7:7-23):
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
5. It cannot free from sin and death
(Romsns 8:2):
6. It cannot free a sinner from condemnation:
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit
7. It cannot bring righteousness
(Romans 8:4).
8. It cannot impart the Holy Spirit:
Galatians 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
9. It cannot free from the curse:
Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
10. It cannot impart grace:
Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
11. It cannot enable a man to obey:
Hebrews 7:18 For there is verily
a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
12. It cannot make perfect:
Hebrews 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
One "proclaims" salvation by "walking in the Spirit", not "after the flesh". The OT law cannot "fix" the flesh to enable it to "obey the 10". By "walking in the Spirit", one allows the Spirit to produce the nine manifestations of the "fruit of the Spirit":
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Galatians 5:23 Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.
The Holy Spirit produces the fruit...not us. The New Testament declares that those OT ordinances of the law have been "nailed to the cross of Christ" (Colossians 2:14). The only purpose of the OT law was to reveal sin...like a schoolmaster.
(Galatians 3:23-25) This doesn't mean we become "lawless"...we are now under the law of Christ (Galatians 6:1-2), which is a "higher law of love". This is only produced by the Holy Spirit of God, not by OUR obedience to the OT law, which is called the "law of sin and death".
