I think people are misunderstanding the role of God's law- its actually not to save us, it actually to help us see our true condition so we will hopefully do something about it. Removing God's law as if it doesn't exist, when its God's standard of judgement Ecc 12:13-14 Mat 5:19-30 Jam 2:11-12 Rev 22:141-5 is not the solution
God's law is like a mirror so we can see our true condition and see our sins
James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24
for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25
But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
James 2:11
For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law (quoting and contrasting the Ten Commandments found in Exo 20:1-17). 1
2 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.
Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight,
for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Rom 7:7 What shall we say then?
Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary,
I would not have known sin except through the law.
For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” again quoting from the Ten Commandments found in Exo 20:1-17
This is all New Covenant and as we can clearly see God wrote His law
s in our hearts and minds and not just one single law. His law and Testimony Deut 4:13, written personally by the God of the Universe Exo 31:18 will be the standard of Judgement why its in the Most Holy of His Temple and why we see them at the last trumpet before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ Rev 11:18-19
Covering our sins is not the solution
Pro 28:13
He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
And laying aside God's commandments as if to say they are not for me, or editing them when we are told not to Pro 30:5-6 Mat 5:18 Psa 89:34, Jesus said quoting from the Ten Commandments is not the solution either
Mark 7: And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8
For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men
Because no one is saved in their sins
Heb 10:26
For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on
the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” [
g]says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Jesus came to save us from our sins Mat 1:21 not in them.
It requires to have an honest look at ourselves compared to God's righteous standard- His holy law and see where we find ourselves short. There is no sin too great for Jesus and asking for His help in overcoming and He wants nothing more than to come to Him with a humble heart asking for His help revealing any hidden sin and help overcome our sins, but being in denial to our sins and covering them and not allowing God to be God to define sin is not the solution. He did so
personally, through His holy and eternal law Mat 5:19, written by His own finger, Exo 31:18 Deut 4:13 which is the Holy Spirit of Truth, that is now written in our hearts and minds Heb 8:10 as long as we don't rebel against what God placed there Rom 8:7-8
While we are saved by grace through faith, because everyone has sinned and broke God's law, but what does faith mean? Sadly many think it means not listening to the Holy Spirit calling us out of our rebellion Heb 3:7-8 not listening to the teachings and examples of Jesus Christ. How do we have the faith of Jesus Rev 14:12 but not follow and believe all of His teachings. It was never pick the one teaching we like and ignore all the others or a new commandment somehow deletes all of the others when no Scripture say that. Jesus said, who is God that became flesh quoting from the OT that man should
live by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Mat 4:4 this is the faith that reconciles back to Jesus Rev 22:14.
I know this is not a popular teaching, but don't let the influence of others who are teaching that breaking the least of Gods commandments and laying them aside are okay when Jesus plainly taught and lived the opposite. Mat 5:19-30 Mat 15:3-14 Mark 7:7-13 Mat 19:17-19 John 14:15 John 15:4,5,10 1 John 2:6
Let Jesus be our guide back to Him leading us on the narrow path back to reconciliation Rev 22:14
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
