CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO BELIEVERS ROM 10:4


CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO BELIEVERS ROM 10:4

18/11/2010

(updated 3/12/ 2011)

 

Rom 10: 4  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

THAT MEANS believers attain Righteousness THROUGH BELIEVING JESUS CHRIST’S TEACHINGS. THEN WE SHOULD STUDY HOW THE BELIEVERS BECOME RIGHTEOUS WHEN THEY ARE FORGIVEN THROUGH GRACE AND MERCY OF JESUS CHRIST—we should study the LAWS  given by JESUS CHRIST for us, as HE BECAME THE HIGH PRIEST, SAVIOUR, and gave a changed law, Heb 7:12.

 

Christ became the sacrifice for all believers, and by being BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH, RO 6: 3-7, BELIEVER WOULD BECOME RIGHTEOUS UNTO HOLINESS—TO SERVE HIM, RO 6: 19,22. ---so JESUS CHRIST is THE ANSWER TO ACHIEVE Righteousness!---APART FROM CHRIST THERE IS NO Righteousness THAT COULD BE FOUND---HIS BLOOD SHED ON THE CROSS ERASES OUR SINS! WE CANNOT FIND ANY OTHER THING TO ERASE OUR SINS! ---therefore WE  SHOULD BE BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH!

 

This Righteousness is of faith--

Rom 10: 6  But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

7  Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

8  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

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.

 

Ro 10:17  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 

Jer 31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Mt 1: 21--thou shalt call His name JESUS: for he shall save His people from their sins.

 

AND WHEN YOU CONFESS HIS NAME

2Ti 2:19- Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

 

LAWS CHANGED AND WERE FULFILLED WITH LOVE, RO 13: 8-10,

Righteous should depart from iniquity! Eze 18:26, Eze 33:13, Eze 33:18-Ps 11:5  The LORD tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.

Ps 11:7  For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness;

And JESUS CHRIST is bringing everlasting Righteousness-Da 9:24

 

Ro 5:21  so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

THROUGH THE GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST Righteousness would come to believers for eternal life. Rom 10: 4  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

 

IT IS JESUS CHRIST WHO COULD HELP BELIEVERS IN HIS LAW OF LIFE—Rom 8: 2--

Rom 8: 2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

THE LAW OF SPIRIT OF LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST, SHOULD GOVERN US –TO REMAIN AS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HLOINESS!

 

REQUIREMENT OF LAWS OF LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST IS  TO WALK ACCORDING TO SPIRIT!

Ro 8:4  that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Then we should not walk according to lusts, flesh!

This is why the helper, the holy spirit was given, --Joh 15:26  "But when the Helper comes---

THE HELPER IS THE Holy Spirit—Holy Spirit is words that give life—Jn 6: 63

Jn 6: 63  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

 

When ONE FOLLOWS THE WORDS OF LIFE---YOU CANNOT SIN ANYMORE!---THE WORDS OF LIFE ARE WORDS OR Judgments OF JESUS CHRIST! WE ARE TO ABIDE IN HIS WORDS!

Joh 14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep My words:

Joh 15:7  If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

 

With the help of the Holy spirit, WE ARE NOT TO WALK ACCORDING TO FLESH (NOT TO PRODUCE WORKS OF FLESH--GAL 5: 19-21)

BUT WE ARE TO WALK ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT—(that is TO PRODUCE FRUITS OF SPIRIT, Gal 5: 22-24 which would be discussed in these writings).

 

SPIRIT is the WORDS that quicken—the LORD’S WORDS—Jn 6: 63

Works of the FLESH, (mentioned in Gal 5: 19-21 PROFITETH NOTHING!—BUT THE WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST that were commanded TO BE KEPT would GIVE LIFE, they PROFITETH!—we are to WALK IN THE SPIRIT, producing fruits of the spirit—GAL 5: 24, 22-23.

 

 

PETER SAID--

Joh 6: 68  But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.---69-"Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

 

JESUS CHRIST THEN HAS THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE—

HIS WORDS ARE WRITTEN IN THE WORD OF GOD—

 

THE LORD GAVE THIS KNOWLEGDE TO DISCIPLES,

AND PRESENT DAY, TO THE GENTILES, through PAUL, the gentiles, ARE TO BE A LIGHT TO ISRAEL- Isa 60 ; 3, they give ISRAEL, the LIGHT OF JESUS CHRIST!

Vs. 3, 10 SAY HOW THE GENTILES BECOME A LIGHT TO ISRAEL AND THAT THEY WILL BUILD THE WALLS OF ISRAEL AND MINISTER TO THEM AS JESUS CHRIST IS MERCIFUL TO ISRAEL AFTER THEY WERE JUDGED AND PUNISHED, Re 11: 2.

During the short work of the LORD, JESUS CHRIST PERFORMED A SPIRITUAL WORK, (A WORK WITH THE WORD OF GOD) Rom 9: 28, thru the gentile witness work, Re 11: 2-4. when the LORD JESUS CHRIST is merciful to spiritual ISRAEL OF RO 9: 4,6,  THEY SHOULD PREPARE TO MEET HIM!—THEY SHOULD STUDY SPIRITUAL THINGS OF THE LORD, 1Co 2: 13-- Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

 

ISRAEL failed by the law given through Moses  - Heb 10:28 , and JESUS CHRIST establishes the throne with mercy- Isa 16:5 And in mercy shall the throne be established:---- hasting righteousness.

THRONE ESTABLISHED BY HASTING Righteousness ---HE WOULD NOT ESTABLISH HIS THRONE WITHOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS ----THAT IS WHY WE FIND HIM GIVING RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS THROUGH HIS BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH, RO 6 3-7, 19,22.

 

Rom 10: 4  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

THEN BELIEVERS SHOULD be mindful of THE LAWS OF Righteousness, kept by being led by the spirit ( for example, Ro 13: 8-10) SO THAT THE LORD WOULD ESTABLISH THE THRONE!

Rom 11: 26, the spiritual Israel would be saved to make the new covenant, Jer 31:33  "But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds,

 

GENTILES WERE NOT JUDGED BY THE LAW, Rom 5: 13, 20, and sin not imputed to them, Rom 4: 8,  AND HOLY SPIRIT WAS POURED UPON THEM AFTER CLEANSING THEM BY HIS BLOOD, THROUGH HIS GRACE, Eph 2: 13. (after enlightment we should not sin, Heb 10: 26-29, 2 Tim 2: 19)

After cleansing through His blood, we had gone through His baptizm, Ro 6: 3-7, and made His Righteousness unto holiness, vs. 19,22, to serve Him, Isa 56: 4-7, and when you are raised, Ro 6: 3-7, you get the Holy Spirit, Joel 2: 28, 29—

Holy Spirit is words of life, Jn 6: 63,

Therefore THE GENTIILES SPEAK SPIRITUAL THINGS CONSISTING OF LORD’S WORDS!

 

WHEN THE LORD BUILDS NEW JERUSALEM, Israel HAS TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST through THE WORD OF GOD–

The bride of Re 19: 7, is given clothes from the LORD whose name is “Word of God”, Re 19: 8,13.

HE IS THEIR HUSBAND, SAVIOUR, AND REDEEMER, Isa 54: 5—AND that JESUS CHRIST IS ESTABLISHING THE THRONE POURING HIS MERCY, hasting Righteousness.

ISRAEL has to clothe with Righteousness that comes from JESUS CHRIST!

Not their filthy rags anymore, Isa 64: 6!

 

Rom 8: 2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

So ISRAEL is freed from the law of sin and death!

Paul and gentiles too were freed from LORD’s blood!

When believers go through Baptizm unto His death and raised in NEWNESS OF LIFE, Ro 6: 3-7, they have the LORD’s laws of SPIRIT OF LIFE to GUIDE THEM TO LIVE JOYFULLY!

 

 

THE LAW OF SPIRIT OF LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST APPLIES NOW, AFTER THE LORD MADE HIMSELF AS THE OFFERING FOR THEIR SINS. JESUS CHRIST SACRIFICED HIS BLOOD to make the new covenant, abolishing the old covenant - Heb 8:13.

New covenant is to be made with Israel, Heb 8: 7,8,--

Heb 8: 1, JESUS CHRIST is the High priest,

Heb 7:12  For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.

 

THE CHANGED LAW IS--

Rom 8: 2  the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus ---seen in Ro 13: 8-10, laws are fulfilled with the love of JESUS CHRIST! This love had been added to us when He pours His spirit, Ro 5: 5. and when you live like that you would produce fruits of the spirit---one has to work with spirit to produce fruits--

Gal 5: 25  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

 

If you work on Gal 5: 19-21-

Gal 5: 21-such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

If you work on Gal 22-23—

Gal 5: 23-- against such there is no law.

5: 24  And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

 

THEREFORE THEY THAT ARE CHRIST’S WALK IN THE SPIRIT OF LIFE, THEY WOULD BE MADE FREE FROM LAW OF SIN AND DEATH—IF ANYONE WALKS IN THE FLESH, HE WOULD NOT INHERIT Kingdom of God!

THEY WOULD NOT LIVE WITH JESUS CHRIST!

FLESH HAS TO BE CRUCIFIED WITH THE POWER OF THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST!

Joh 11:25  Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS THE POWER TO GIVE LIFE TO THEM THAT ARE HIS. Eph 2:10  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

 

WE ARE CREATED FOR GOOD WORKS!

 

(THOSE WHO WALK IN FLESH—ARE FOLLOWING LAW OF SIN AND DEATH--Gal 5:19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like---AND THOSE WHO DO THEM DO NOT INHERIT LIFE IN Kingdom of God)

 

But---THOSE WHO WALK IN SPIRIT ---GAL 5: 22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,23  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

THEREFORE THOSE WHO WALK IN SPIRIT WOULD BE FREE OF LAW OF SIN AND DEATH, ---AND  THEY WOULD INHERIT Kingdom of God, AND be NOT UNDER LAW,

meaning--the laws of death cannot prove them as wrong doers!

They would be judged as doers of the words of JESUS CHRIST! Jas 1:22  But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

 

JESUS CHRIST poured spirit on maids, servants- Joe 2:28  "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy---that’s how the gentiles got to prophesy!

1Co 14:1  Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

 

When the spirit was poured, IT HELPS TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT! –THE SPIRIT WOULD GUIDE UNTO HIS TRUTH!

 

 

Jn 16:13  "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; IF YOU BELIEVE THE SPIRIT (WORDS, JN 6: 63) OF TRUTH as written in Jn 16: 13, YOU WILL KNOW THAT BELIEVERS WOULD COME TO KNOW THE TRUTH—major truth is that you get His Righteousness unto holiness, Ro 6: 22, through BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH, Ro 6: 3-7, as without holiness we would not see Him, Heb 12:14.

The LORD poured His spirit, gave understanding thru the WORD OF GOD, Jn 6: 63, Re 19: 13, added His love, Ro. 5: 5, to help us to love like Him.

The gentiles prophesy and spread knowledge of JESUS CHRIST -

Hab 2:14  For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD,

 

 

LORD JESUS CHRIST TAUGHT—THAT HE IS THE ONLY GOD—through whom THE BELIEVERS ARE TO BE SAVED--

Joh 8:24  "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

Joh 16: 8  "And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:"of sin, because they do not believe in Me;

 

So He finds sin—no Righteousness –no justice!

And if one believes that He could make believers have His Righteousness to serve Him, Ro 6: 13 (and not serve sin, Ro 6: 6),

 

Ro 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.

 

Zec 14: 9  And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and His name one.

 

JESUS CHRIST condemns SIN and shows that one ought to believe in His name and depart from sin to serve Him—this is all the purification of ministry, those who serve Him, Mal 3: 3!

2Ti 2:19- Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

 

IF YOU BELIEVE IN HIS NAME, YOU ARE NOT TO serve SIN, Ro 6: 6!

 

IF SIN DWELLS IN YOU, YOU WILL DIE, BUT IF YOU BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST, and DO WHAT HE SAYS, you WILL NOT DIE--

 

WHEN THE LORD HAD COME IN FLESH, AND IF YOU BELIEVE HIM,1Jo 4:2; AND BELIEVE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, YOU KNOW THAT JESUS CHRIST IS YOU SAVIOUR-IF YOU DEPART FROM INIQUITY!

 

JESUS CHRIST HAD PAVED A WAY TO SAVE THE SINNERS FROM DEATH--

ROM 5: 21-sin leads to death, but grace might reign through Righteousness to eternal life thru JESUS CHRIST.

 

 

THEREFORE,

Ro 10:4  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

 

 

FOR CHRISTIANS, FOR FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST, FOR HIS DISCIPLES, FOR HIS AMBASSODORS, FOR THE BELIEVERS OF THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST ---THE RESULT OF THE LAW for Righteousness COULD BE GAINED THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!

The law given through Moses failed to BRING HIS FOLLOWERS TO HIM—then THROUGH GRACE JESUS CHRIST MADE ANOTHER LAW—

 

A LAW OF SPIRIT OF LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST --

 

Rom 8: 2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

 

THRU KEEPING THE CHANGED LAW OF JESUS CHRIST, His followers would LEARN HIS WAY OF LIVING—

Paul said--1Co 11:1  Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

WE ARE TO IMITATE THE IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST!

Read--

14.

PAUL’S EXAMPLE

 

 

His Righteousness would be formed in us when we follow His spirit-

Rom 8: 4  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Law given thru Moses had to be fulfilled, (Mt 5:17  "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.)---thus Ro 13: 8-10 is written in new testament!

 

Righteousness of the law had to be fulfilled THROUGH FOLLOWING HIS SPIRIT.

 

Then one would PRODUCE fruits of the spirit, Gal 5: 22-23,

And they would not produce works of the flesh, Gal 5; 19-21,

 

Righteousness of the law would be fulfilled when fruits of the spirit are produced, and IT WOULD BECOME A WAY OF LIFE among BELIEVERS.

 

 

Rom 8: 2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

 

THE FOLLOWING VSS OF HEB 10, WOULD EXPLAIN HOW THE ABOVE LAW WORKS—

NOTE THAT THERE IS ONE OFFERING FOR SIN—(note also that gentiles have already GOT THAT OFFERING as they were perfected to serve Him- Heb 10:2, Isa 56; God’s house is a house of prayer of gentiles, Lu 19:46, )

 

HEB 10—

10  - the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11  And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

12  But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever,

14  For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

15  But the Holy Spirit also witnesses

16  "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,"

18  Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

19 - Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20  by a new and living way which He consecrated for us,

 

SO it is ONE OFFERING for sin—THEREAFTER WE SHOULD AVOID SIN—DEPART FROM SERVING SIN, RO 6: 6!

When we name the name of JESUS CHRIST, we are to depart from sin--2Ti 2:19- Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

 

 

COL 3 explains how the new man in JESUS CHRIST should act.

The LORD WILL REWARD-

Vss 24--  reward of the inheritance: for serving JESUS CHRIST --

25  - and there is no respect of persons.

WE SEE THIS BEING DONE IN NEW JERUSALEM—RE 22: 12

 

 

Rom 8: 2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

SO WHEN YOU ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT, YOU WOULD NOT BE UNDER LAW, GAL 5: 18, you attain LIBERTY.

2 CO 3: 17  Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

 

TO HAVE THE HOPE OF GLORY,  we are to have faith in JESUS CHRIST - Ro 5:2, Eph 1:18, this hope was taught to gentiles, Col 1:27, and that is why the gentiles have to give this light to Israel—Isa 60: 3

Col 1:27 - which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

When JESUS CHRIST is in you!

OUR BODIES SHOULD BE FREE OF SIN FOR HIM TO DWELL IN US!

That is why the LORD makes us free of sin when WE GO THROUGH HIS BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH , RO 6: 3-7!

 

THIS IS WHY HE SAID,

1Pe 1:16  because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."

Ps 101:6- He who walks in a perfect way, He shall serve Me.

Pr 4:18  But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

Mt 5:48  "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Ro 12:2  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Eph 4:13  till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

Col 1:28  Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

 

After becoming new men in Christ, we should follow the laws of spirit --

Re 22:14  Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

 

 

WHEN THE LEADERS OF CHURCH SPOILT THE CHURCH,  JESUS CHRIST PURIFIES HIS CHURCH-

Eph 5:27  that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

 

 

WE OUGHT TO GUARD OURSELVES-

IN THE LAST DAY THE LORD MIGHT FIND SOME DISOBEDIENT TO HIM—AND SOME OBEDIENT TO HIM--

Re 22:11  "He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still."

 

THEREFORE JESUS CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW, rewarding BELIEVERS who become doers of His word through believing in HIS BAPTISM, RO 6; 3-7, , and HE WOULD REWARD ALL HIS SAINTS, -----ALL COMMANDMENTS OF HIS LEADS SAINTS TO JESUS CHRIST, AND HE WOULD BE FORMED IN US, Ga 4:19, Eph 1:18, Col 1:27, WE ARE TO HAVE HIS IMAGE, 1Co 15:49,

 

2 Co 3: 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 by the Spirit of the Lord.

 

A SPIRITUAL BODY LED BY SPIRIT, (SPIRIT IS  LIFE GIVING WORDS, JN 6: 63) --

1 Co 15: 44  It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.-

1 Co 15: 20 -But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.--21  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.--22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

CHRIST RAISED,  EPH 1: 20, PAUL RAISED, PHP 3: 10, 11, GENTILES RAISED, EPH 2: 5,6, BY HIS BLOOD, VS. 13.

SIMILARLY EVERY BELIEVER SHOULD BE RAISED THROUGH HIS DEATH, BY BEING BAPTISED UNTO HIS DEATH, RO 6: 3-6

 

PUT OFF FORMER CONDUCT,  THE OLD MAN, AND PUT ON NEW MAN. Eph 4.22-29- through acts of vs. 22-29—speaking lies, anger, stealing, using corrupt words GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, VS. 30-------AND THEREFORE VS. 31-32—BITTERNESS, WRATH, ANGER, CLAMOR, EVIL SPEAKING SHOULD BE PUT AWAY-----AND BE ----KIND, TENDERHEARTED, FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER  AS JESUS CHRIST FORGAVE EVERYONE,

EPH 5.2-8 says SUCH OLD MEN who would not give up their old habits, DO NOT ENTER THE Kingdom of God.

 

THAT MEANS WITHOUT THE NEW WAY OF LIVING WHICH WAS COMMANDED BY JESUS CHRIST YOU CANNOT ENTER NEW JERUSALEM (Re 22.14-15)

 

JESUS CHRIST MAGNIFIED HIS LAWS MT 5.27 TO MT 7.29

Ro 13:9  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Ga 5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Joh 15:12  This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

 

Ro 12:9  Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

Eph 1:4  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:

 

ADMONISHINGS TO Husbands, wives, parents, servants, ,masters—Eph 5.22 to 6.13

 

Seek things of JESUS CHRIST –phi 2.21

Gal 6.2-BEAR ONE ANOTHERS BURDENS AND FULFILL THE LAW OF CHRIST. Vs. 3—Do not be high minded.

 

PAUL is THE MINISTER OF GENTILES-- Ro 15:16  That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

The work of gentiles is an offering to the LORD, as the continual and daily, Ps. 72: 10,15.---this work is sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

 

PAUL WAS AN EXAMPLE TO US, GENTILES,---

1Co 4:16  Therefore I urge you, imitate me.

1Co 11:1  Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

 

And PAUL WAS LAWFUL -- 1Co 6:12  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

THIS MEANS because PAUL WAS LAWFUL--- LAW COULD NOT FIND FAULT WITH HIM, and that means PAUL WAS NOT UNDER THE LAW!

Paul had imitated the IMAGE OF CHRIST—Paul had the MIND OF CHRIST, to imitate JESUS CHRIST!

 

Therefore Paul fulfilled the LAW OF CHRIST, AND WAS IN LIBERTY!

PAUL ATTAINED THE LIBERTY THROUGH THE LAW OF SPIRIT OF LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST! Paul was successful in his race,

2Ti 4:7  I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

 

THEREFORE WHEN WE ARE BORN OF GOD, WE SHOULD KEEP THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST, KEEPING AWAY FROM SIN--

Heb 12:1  Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

 

 

We should have SAME MIND IN THE LORD PHI 4.2

MEDITATE ON WHATSOEVER IS TRUE, NOBLE, JUST, PURE, OF GOOD REPORT, PRAISWORTHY—PHI 4.8

 

 

JESUS CHRIST WILLS ISRAEL HIS PEOPLE, TO RETURN TO HIM through FAITH IN HIM, JUST AS PAUL TAUGHT GENTILES TO HAVE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST TO DO WHAT the LORD SAYS.

 

ALL PRAISE TO JESUS CHRIST, THE SAVIOUR OF ALL. Amen.
