[QUOTE="Lukaris, post: 75268184, member: 198106"] I think statements like these from the Lord center on keeping His commandments as best we can in the circumstances we are in. The Lord told the rich young man to keep the commandments ( Matthew 19:16-19 ). It seems the Lord told the rich young man to deny himself but that is because the rich man said he “[B]kept”[/B] the commandments as if it was a done deal ( it is not until the day we die). St. Paul in faith to the Lord, repeats that we are to keep the commandments ( Romans 13:8-10). This is repentance that is to be expressed in works ( Acts of the Apostles 26:19-20 ) which is what St. Paul means in that we are saved by grace through faith to do good works but not by works ( Ephesians 2:8-10 ). St. John the Baptist preached the same ( Luke 3:7-15 ) which is the bridge between the old & new covenants echoing what King Solomon preached ( Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 ). The Lord concludes this is in John 5:22-30. [/QUOTE]
