Well, you and God alone know best how perfectly you love
Well, you and God alone know best how perfectly you love
Look at your own description, don't ignore it.
You claim Gods will is made known by what Jesus did in the law.
But nobody could understand God, nobody knows the Father, but who the Son reveals Him to.
Nobody is capable of learning about God, they can not learn anything from seeing what Jesus did in Israel.
That is why the entire Gospel is telling the parables of the Kingdom of Heaven, for belief in Heaven. ( this was never told in the law as the law is of the earth and not of Heaven) the law is for earthly man to do his earthliness and to keep his earthly sabbath too.
Jesus gave the parables as they speak of the righteousness He came to fulfil ( His dying for our sins) and He did it.
That is the only way anyone can understand and believe in anything Jesus spoke and did in the Gospel, without it, they cant( they only receive the Spirit through the hearing of faith, and faith is Christ faithfully rising from the dead, it is how we receive the Spirit to believe just that.
THIS IS HOW THE SPIRIT FALLS ON US( hearing and believing Christ died and rose the third day)
Acts 10:39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
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?
Soyeong you are rebuked, you know what you are doing is to cause doubt for Christians to begin following torah law, it is very bad of you to not stop even though you have nothing to say to me.
The will of God is our sanctification, we cant be sanctified by Jesus obeying Torah law. That is why Christ came to give His life a ransom for us. ( to sanctify us once and for all)
Thus knowledge of Christ is not understood by those in the law( as they are flesh and carnal man) it can only be understood in the Spirit( given strictly to us by believing in the rising of Christ from the dead) zero to do with absolutely anything else.
This is the way as testified, the one perfect sacrifice offering is what forgives our sins and lets us know God all at once( without believing this we can know nothing, for ever):
1 Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
The way to know God is through expressing His nature, God's law is His instructions for how to know him because it is His instructions for how to express His nature, and Jesus is the embodiment or the way to know the Father because is he the exact expression of God's nature (Hebrews 1:3), which he embodied by living in sinless obedience to God's law. In Exodus 33:13, Moses wanted God to be gracious to him by teaching him His way that he might know Him, and in Matthew 7:23, Jesus said that he would tell those who are workers of lawlessness to depart from him because he never knew them, so knowing God and Jesus is the goal of the law, which is eternal life (John 17:3).
.
In Romans 8:4-7, those who walk in the Spirit are contrasted with those who have carnal minds or those set on the flesh who are enemies of God who refuse to submit to His law. In Galatians 5:19-22, everything listed as carnal works of the flesh that are against the Spirit are also against God's law, while all of the fruits of the Spirit are in accordance with it. In John 2:4, those who say that they know Christ, but do not obey his commands are liars and the truth is not in them, and in 1 John 3:4-6, those who continue to practice sin in transgression of God's law have neither seen nor known him.

Fornication is against God's law.
[quoote]Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
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;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
We are either justified or not. . .our walking does not justify (Romans 3:21, Romans 3:28).To fulfill the commandments of Christ( through faith in Christ given to die and rise again for our sins) is to fulfil the will of God ( our sanctification)
The Lord is the avenger of anyone who defrauds their brother, that is why we are not justified when we do unjustly. We are justified if we believed in God being just through Christ( Christ dying to justify us with God) then we walk WORTHY.
It appears you are ignoring Gods Word and Christs Righteousness, in favor of your own righteousness.Alright,. Like I say go ahead and ignore His word and the gospel as it was received at the beginning. He wants you to have righteousness, but God-righteousness, not self righteousness. But I imagine you know that intuitively anyway, regardless of specific theology, and live your life as if what you do, with and by God's grace, counts.
Why do you continue to teach( law) repeatedly, but never wish to engage with me, to find out, once and for all, what sin is, and how we are freed from sin, and how that cannot be at all by keeping/observing the law, but is entirely done without the deeds of the law?
Jesus cannot show the way to salvation is by keeping the law, when He is the way to salvation, and that there is no salvation without Him dying to break us free from the curse of the law. Also Jesus cannot observe the law when He came to make it honourable, He came to show what faith and love and mercy are, which the law could not reveal, because faith, mercy and the love of God are in what Jesus came to do. Not how He observed a law that cant know what faith love and mercy is, but because He was fulfilling the law, of what was missing from it. ( His kindness, His meekness, His mercy, His faith and the love of God to give His life for us)
Romans 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
How many times/years, have you kept quoting one verse in 1 John 3, and by doing that you have misinterpreted the whole message ?
Just include one verse next to the one you always state, and the meaning can be seen then.
Sin is the transgression of the law, and that is why Jesus was manifested, to take away our sins( in the law)
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
That way, there is no condemnation( as there is in the law) as they in the law walk in the flesh, but they in Christ walk in the Spirit.
The law then is weak through the flesh.
That Spirit of Christ made us free from the law, which is flesh, sin and death.
The righteousness( same righteousness) that Christ fulfilled( laying His life down for us is the righteousness of God) is fulfilled in us, we lay our lives down for the brothers/another, when we walk after the Spirit ( not the flesh, which is the law, which is sin, which is death)
Proof is right here Soyeong, READ MY WORDS.
WHAT IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN.
( NOBODY CAN KEEP ANY LAW THEY ARE FOREVER IN SIN)
IF CHRIST IS NOT RAISED ( ANYONE WHO IS KEEPING LAW AND DOING THE COMMANDMENTS) IS DOING IT IN VAIN, AS THEY ARE YET IN THEIR SINS.
ONLY BY BELIEVING THAT JESUS IS CHRIST THE SON OF GOD, IS HOW WE DO NOT DIE IN OUR SINS.
Now the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, ( who walk n ot after the law) but after the Spirit. ( For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.)
Not as Israel going about to establish their own righteousness ( in the law) and thus not submitting themselves to this righteousness of God ( not having knowledge of it/remaining ignorant/unbelieving) For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness. ( Christ ended the law by fulfilling it, and the fulfilling of the righteousness of the law is Christ dying for us to live again.)
Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Now ( through belief in Christ fulfilling the righteousness of the law through His death and rising again) we yield our bodies as instruments of righteousness to God, as those that are alive from the dead with Him. ( to fulfill the righteousness of the law, through faith, and not through the law, which is not of faith)
Sin has no dominion over us BECAUSE WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW OF FLESH, SIN AND DEATH, WHICH CHRIST SET US FREE FROM THROUGH DYING TO SIN ONCE, AND IN THAT HE LIVES, HE LIVED UNTO GOD.
We shall not sin because WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, but are UNDER GRACE.
Romans 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Romans 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Yes Christ did it because His People couldn't do it. He did it for them, and they walk in faith believing that. You wanna walk in your own law keeping righteousness, good luck with that in the day of Judgment friend.I agree that Jesus fulfilled all righteousness by living in obedience to God's law, however, you are erroneously concluding that he did that so that we don't have to follow his example rather than that he did that so that we would have an example to follow, and again we are told to follow his example (1 Peter 2:21-22). Again, please explain why you consider relying on what God has instructed is trusting in myself rather than in God.
In Deuteronomy 30:11-20, God said that His law was not too difficult to keep and that obedience to it brings life and a blessing while disobedience brings death and a curse, so choose life! So it was presented as a possibility and as a choice, not as something that we are unable to keep. Furthermore, there are example of people who did keep the law, such as in Joshua 22:1-3 and Luke 1:5-6, and Revelation 14:12 and 22:14 refer to people who kept God's commandments. Nowhere does the Bible say that Jesus fulfilled the law for us so that we don't have to, but rather is consistently calls for people to repent and obey it.
We are either justified or not. . .our walking does not justify (Romans 3:21, Romans 3:28).
Sin is the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4), so living in obedience to it is inherently part of the concept of being freed from not living in obedience to it.
I
In Hebrews 1:3, the Son is the exact expression of God's nature, so he is the personification of God's nature expressed through living in obedience to God's law, and God's nature is the way of salvation, which he showed us. In Deuteronomy 28:1:14, it lists the blessing of living in obedience to the law while verses 15-68 list the curse of living in disobedience to the law, so being set free form the curse of the law is being set free to enjoy the blessing of living in obedience to it. Jesus made the law honorable so that we would obey it. In Matthew 23:23, Jesus said that justice, mercy, and faith are weightier matters of the law, that that the law could not reveal them. Jesus came to live in sinless obedience to God's law, so those aspects of God's nature are part of what he came to show us how to express. Jesus fulfilled the law by teaching us how to correctly obey it by word and by example in accordance with its weightier matters.
Yes Christ did it because His People couldn't do it. He did it for them, and they walk in faith believing that. You wanna walk in your own law keeping righteousness, good luck with that in the day of Judgment friend.
While we are justified by faith and do not earn it by works of the law, it would be a mistaken to conclude that our faith therefore abolishes our need to obey God's law because Paul concluded in Romans 3:31 that our faith does not abolish the law, but rather our faith upholds it, yet you seek to abolish it rather than uphold it.
Well, you and God alone know best how perfectly you love. And maybe an acquaintance or twoAlso the testimony is WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD...
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
