Unless your perfect you do not keep the law
i have shown you this so many times
moses first made Isreal confirm this
moses confirmed it in gal 3
and James said even if you were perfect. But fail just once, your guilty
how you can continue to deny this and think you obey the law is one of my greatest concerns.
Do you NOT understand WHAT Jesus accomplished? Do you know we are all sinners? Do you know sin is transgression of the Law? Do you know the blood of Christ, through repentance on our part AFFORDS us FORGIVENESS FOR SIN?
If there is NO LAW, there is NO SIN. We do not get to "get rid of the law in our lives and become sinless". That is not the way God lays it out. If it was we would not be told to "keep my commandments", law.
YES, breaking the law, AKA sinning, you lose your perfect standing, and the ability for God to hear you. Acknowledgement of the breaking of Gods law, some self reflection, a change of heart and a desire to be more holy, to walk more like our example, Christ, to bring God pleasure, to be obedient to HIS way and not the flesh, we come to repentance, a change of our inner man, and that breaking of the law is forgiven and we are perfected again through Christs willing sacrifice of his life in which He paid the penalty for that sin repented of at which point our sin is forgiven, we are washed clean, and once again able to go into the Holy of Holies and talk to God.

1 Peter 1:2 according to [the] foreknowledge of God [the] Father, by sanctification of [the] Spirit unto [the] obedience and sprinkling of [the] blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace may be multiplied.
We are to COME to God. We are to CHOSE life. We are to ACCEPT Christ. We are to be BAPTIZED. When we DO, we are accepted of God and received "the Comforter", who leads and guides us in the TRUTHS of Gods Word and Ways. We are to KEEP His commandments. We are to REPENT. We are to ASK FOR FORGIVENESS. We are to LOVE God with all our strength and heart and mind. We are to STUDY to show ourselves approved. We are to INCREASE and to GROW in His wisdom and knowledge. We are to SEED PLANT. We are to WALK in His ways. We are to be OBEDIENT. We are to PRAY. We are to REMIND HIM of His promises. We are to GO TEACH BAPTIZE. We are to CRUCIIFY the flesh daily. We are to be SERVANTS. We are to be RIGHTEOUS.
For the PURPOSE OF SALVATION we are THROUGH CHRIST JESUS gifted righteousness before God, sanctified, justified but OUR WALK FOR GOD once that has been accomplished, isn't accepted by God through OUR own thoughts. It doesn't come through OUR knowledge. It doesn't come through OUR wisdom. It doesn't come through OUR ways. BUT IT DOES COME through OUR EFFORTS.
We are to seek out His knowledge and wisdom and laws so that WHEN we get to leave this flesh and stand before Him, we have loved Him with all that we are, and we have disciplined ourselves to be not JUST someone who He loves, but SOMEONE HE CAN USE and He knows we will do what ever we do HIS WAY because HIS WAYS HAVE BECOME OURS.
You tell me. Two people arrive in heaven. Both of them have loved God. One has gone out and loved God and loved his neighbor and done right, helping the lost of this world find Christ and doing good works in the world. The other, has loved God and loved his neighbor but has seeked out Gods laws, wisdom and knowledge, ensuring the "doing right" was not what his little flesh thought was right but WHAT God WROTE, instructing that servant as to what WAS RIGHT to HIM, and then that servant went about spreading GODS Ways.
Now the flesh life has ended for those two above.
So standing before God is the one who heard the truth and with that through Grace found faith accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour and has been made righteous, been justified, and went through the rest of their life walking in where the Spirit led them, never acknowledging past that love the other written laws of God but loving God and loving neighbor, "love" covering all of that stuff and are saved.
Next to him stands one who, with all the same coming to the Lord, HEARD a different truth. This one loved God and his neighbor but when he read "Study", the Spirit he received led him to do just that. And he learned and took to heart all the wisdom and knowledge and laws of God and applied those to his life and to his neighbors. He taught that the laws of God were to be followed and taught.
NOW COMES the millennium. The flesh age has ended.
Revelation 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
The first resurrection is of souls beheaded for the witness of Jesus and word of God, AND those who DIDN'T TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
The "dead", those who do not "live" again until the end of the 1000 yrs, are those
who did take the mark, were deceived, Why don't they "live" until the end of the 1000 yrs? Because just like the 1st resurrection went through the temptation of Satan, these "dead", (spiritually dead), to receive their "eternal" life, must not be deceived when Satan is loosed again. Hopefully after 1000 yrs of learning Gods Truth they will make it and not end up in the lake of fire.
Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
Revelation 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Revelation 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
Revelation 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Revelation 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
This is what will be happening on the Lords Day.
So back to the two people standing before God.
You are filling "positions" for the millennium. You will have priests that approach the Lord and priests who only approach the people.
Who do you chose to do what?
The one who considers themselves a gentile who become a Christian through grace and faith is saved and satisfied, believing they couldn't follow the law perfectly so "walked in love" like Christ, and taught others that was the way of God.
The one who considers themselves "one of the scattered sheep" who once saved, walk in love of the Word and also dedicate themselves to study, to learn ALL of Gods laws and disciplining themselves in walking according to them, His laws having become their laws to the point them becoming their laws having found in them the wisdom and joy of them and the Word also removing all condemnation of them, teaching others ALL of Gods Word, and forgiveness of sin through the blood of Christ.
