Our works are meant to glorify God

1 Peter 2:12 KJV — Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works, which they shall, behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

>>> James 2:26 KJV — For as the body >>> without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

James 3:13 KJV — Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him shew out of a good conversation his shows with meekness of wisdom.

James 2:25 KJV — Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

>>>>James 2:24 KJV — Ye see then how t >>> t by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. This means that faith alone isn't valid faith; our works are dead, and works are necessary

Romans 2:6, KJV — Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

Law and grace

In this study I made on LAW AND GRACE

Romans 2:12-16 KJV — For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall >>> judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.If we are saved by grace why do we need the law? According to Galatians 3:19-21, there are 613 comGalatians 3:19-2166 books of the Old Testament, so do we need to keep the whole law under grace? Rabbit hole ...Galatians 3:15-29 KJV — Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it is an instrument, yet if it is established, it is established. Man annulled it, and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant was confirmed before God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then serve the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one,, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterward be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith comes, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to The Bible explains that. God to Abraham was Jesus Christ, and the law doesn't contradict. The law doesn't give li, but Jesus does. What does it mean, covenant of promise? The sacrificial law of sin and death, the Covedeatht of life and peace, the LaCovenant Ark of the, the covenant covenant, man Covenant ments New Covenant is Jesmandatesothe nomy 6:5 KJV — And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.James 4:6 KJV — But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV — And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I will gladly glory in my infirmity; the glory of Christ may rest upon me.Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV — For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.1 Peter 1:5 KJV — Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.Jude 1:4 KJV — For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.Galatians 3:19 KJV — Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.Galatians 3:19-21 KJV — Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one,, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.Read all of Galatians to better understand. of Galatians, that we may be delivered from the present evil age. Read about what it says about this in Galatians -The grace of Christ-perverting the gospel -let him be accursed -persuade men or God-gospel is not according to man but it comes from the revelation of Jesus Judaism vs Christianity is not the same-brings us into bondage -THERE ARE 2 GOSPELS Peter preached the gospel for the circumcised Jews And PAUL preached the gospel for the uncircumcised gentilesGalatians 2:16-19 KJV — 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. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we also are found sinners, I, therefore, e Chris,t the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.Galatians 3:24-25 KJV — Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.Galatians 4:5 KJV — To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.The law is a tutor when we had faith, no longer a tutor. To redeem those who were under the law. Galatians 4:30 KJV — Nevertheless, what saith the scripture? Cast out, the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman, liberty, freedom, life, no longer under the law for we The Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith Faith inChristt to have hope in the righteousness not faith in righteousness but hope to be savedLiberty from the law just don't use the liberty as an opportunity for the flesh No longer under the law Galatians 5:5-18 KJV — For us through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. I would say that they were even cut off, trouble you. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.So in summary the book of Galatians explains that The law is for tutoring to come to faith in Jesus for hope of righteousness by faith.The law is passing away for the newThe law is for sinners.The law is goodThe summary of the whole law is love The law is no longer and doesn't justify us ... so the sacrificial law is over when Jesus died on the cross and said it was finished ✅️ as the new covenant was taken place thru Him for redemption of sins as Jesus never sinned and practiced the whole law for us and brought us un to grace.

So that we can live a holy righteous life before God's eyes thru christ. For we are the righteousness of Christ. To renew the covenant of holyness which is the 10 commandments in summary of the whole law is to love ❤️ and the law is no longer written in stones but in our hearts

Romans 2:15 KJV — Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

2 Corinthians 3:3 KJV — Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

Hebrews 10:16 KJV — 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;

Jeremiah 32:40 KJV — And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me

.Jeremiah 31:33 KJV — But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Repentance

Luke 3:3 KJV — And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

Someone who needs to be saved from hell due to sins needs salvation, which comes through the remission of sins by repentance for the remission of those sins, which is what the blood of Jesus does cleanses from those sins when u believe in Him as Lord and Savior... Baptism is a symbol of repentance new man is born again born of God's change then once that's done Jesus baptizes you in the Holy Ghost ... God places His Spirit inside man and writes the law in his heart ❤️ on tablets of flesh the ten commandments which summed up is love God and love people then you cannot sin when you walk in the Spirit not the flesh then if you obey God and persevere to the end you shall be saved... Salvation is that summary of a person who was enslaved to sin a sinner a debtor to God for his sins and meant to go to hell all of a sudden is saved by Mark 2:17 KJV — When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Matthew 9:13 KJV — But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Mark 1:4 KJV — John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

-If you fully know how to love God and your neighbor, and love reigns in your heart and actions, the laws are irrelevant-incorrect, my friend. I discovered the truth here. I just said if u fully know how to love God... We can't ... God is the source of Love we can't love without Him and we need His help to be able to obey that's why He places His Spirit inside us and writes His commandments in our hearts so we no longer can astray by repentance and following Jesus by believing Him and confessing Him as Lord and savior we can receive this promised gift the Holy Spirit to follow His ways and be justified by faith thru the blood of Jesus Christ we have redemption of sins and seeking to obey preserving in the sanctification process perfection until the day of redemption. Salvation is a contract. If the contract was not infringed by walking away from this grace and free gift. Remaining in Christ.

Turning from sin? Do people have to clean up their lives before they can be saved? No, it just means repent from your sinful life a life of sim to follow righteousness which is Christ Jesus so you need to repent and become a new man born again born of God as a fruit of repentance you then accept Christ and follow God all the way leaving behind the life of sin to follow Righteousness and become holy separate from the world ways old man to perfected everyday lil by lil til the day of redemption u are already sealed when u receive the Holy Spirit in the second baptism by fire to guide lead u all the way
