You cannot obey the law unless you are a new creation where God works in you to will and to do and to make you perfect unto every good work. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus makes us free from the law of sin and death.
Now you're grasping the concept! In order to live that way, you have to submit your human will for his will, he takes over and you ride passenger, doing all that he asks. You dedicate ALL of your life to what
JESUS wants, the way JESUS wants, how JESUS wants it, when JESUS wants it. He paid for the rights to my life on the cross, he made me, he then made me new, so he owns me. and btw, the Law of sin and death is not the Law of Moses, it is the Law given to Adam that stated; "if you eat from this tree, you shall surely die".... and so when he did, he became under the Law of sin and death. The Law of sin and Death can ONLY be applied if someone breaks the Law.
Some seek to follow outward codes and to attain righteousness by the law of Moses and to establish their own righteousness. But the law is not made for s righteous man (a righteous man in faith in God’s righteousness that is) but it is made for sinners. By the law is the knowledge of sin. The law is not if faith and I through the law am dead to the law that I might be married to another. If some try to be married to the law and to Christ they confound the new covenant and the salvation message. If righteousness came by the law then Christ died in vain. We come into life through the righteousness of faith it is through Hod’s righteousness we have life that righteousness was made known through Jesus Christ.
If you are going to splice and dice scripture to make it say what you want is to say, please atleast give the scripture quotations so that you're mixing of seed can be dissected and placed back in it's original context. For example you state: "But the law is not made for s righteous man (a righteous man in faith in God’s righteousness that is) but it is made for sinners." which is parts of this scripture along with what you ADDED to it for emphasis; 1Ti 1:5-11 NASB But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. (6) For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, (7) wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions. (8) But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, (9) realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers (10) and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, (11) according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
this is one of the passages you butchered to make your argument, in which the Law is called GOOD if one uses it lawfully, and is intended for those whom break the Law, and not intended for the righteous. So unless you keep the law, then the Law is for you, yes you..
Here is another passage you butchered: Gal 2:19-21 NASB "For through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live to God. (20) "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. (21) "I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."
This clearly states that Works do not save you without giving your entire life to Christ.... no argument here. For even though the Law tells me how I am to live, without the love for Christ, I'd have no desire to live according to his commandments. Joh 14:15 NASB "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
You see that the Law is the commandments of God/Jesus, but the simple act of claiming him as God will now save you no more than telling the cops who your daddy is will keep you out of Jail. BU t in keeping tha law out of Love for Jesus, submitting your flesh to his spirit will keep you following the Law. So without Jesus, there is no salvation for anyone who breaks a Law, with love for Jesus you can now keep the Law, because his desires are now your desires, and you have died to self and selfishness. Twisting scriptures around does not keep people from obeying the Commandments of God, pride and selfishness does. Think about that as you read 2 Cor 3:6-15 about ten times in prayer in It's intended context that you so willfully and defiantly try to leave out, that expresses and confirms what I just said with the parts you left out...
2Co 3:1-18 NASB Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you? (2) You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; (3) being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. (4) Such confidence we have through Christ toward God. (5) Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, (6) who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. (7) But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, (8) how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? (9) For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory. (10) For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it. (11) For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory. (12) Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech, (13) and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was fading away. (14) But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ. (15) But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; (16) but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. (17) Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. (18) But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
