Paul said we do not void out the law through faith, but we establish the law, and the law is spiritual, and holy, and just, and good, which is the laws of love, moral laws.
So we all have to live up to the law, and the law is spiritual, so if it is spiritual then we have to obey the law, for it is not a physical ordinance.
The Bible says a Spirit led life will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, for they have crucified the flesh with the affections, and lusts, and show the ways of the Spirit, in which there are no ways of the flesh there.
And God will not allow the saints that are led of the Spirit to be tempted above measure, and will give them an escape from the temptation, so they can bear it.
So if a person hates sin, and does not want sin, then by the Spirit they can abstain from sin.
So there is no excuse.
The Bible says a Spirit led life is not under the law, for their sins are forgiven, and they are abstaining from sin, so the law cannot touch them for prosecution.
But if we do sin we can be forgiven, but we should have the proper attitude that we can abstain from sin, and sin does affect our relationship with God, and get rid of it and move forward.
For the Bible says if we willingly sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there is no more sacrifice for that sin, for if we hold unto sin then the blood of Christ cannot wash it away.
Which God said it is our sins that separate us from Him, and the Lord knows them that are His having this seal, for this is what seals the saints, and how they are led of the Spirit, that those that name the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
And awake to righteousness, and sin not, but some have not the knowledge of God.
Which there is no difference between the Old Testament, and the New Testament, when it comes to obeying God, for God gave the Jews the Old Testament, and if they did not obey they were cut off, and God gives us the New Testament, and if we do not obey then we will be cut off.
And this is to obey God, and to abstain from sins, for it is our sins that separate us from God, which He said be ye holy, for I am holy.
Which the Bible says that we should fear, for if God did not spare the Jews who did not obey, then He will also not spare you if you do not obey, for if you do not continue in the goodness of God then you will also be cut off, and the goodness of God is He hates sin, and does not want us to do it led by the Spirit.
And in another place God said do not be like the Jews that were disobedient in the wilderness, and do not depart from the living God by the deceitfulness of sins.
We have to live up to the law, the moral laws, laws of love, led by the Spirit, which we can abstain from sins if we hate sins, and do not want sins.
And there is no excuse.
The Bible says love works no ill towards their neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Which Paul said charity is not selfish, not arrogant, does not act wrongly, does not think an evil thought, does not rejoice in doing wrong, but rejoices in the truth of doing right led by the Spirit, and only goes by their needs, and helps people with their needs if possible, or helps them with whatever they need help in.
The Bible says charity, love in action, is greater than faith, and faith works by love, for it is love alone, and without love that has to be done by action, works, then faith does not count in your life.
Which we are saved by grace through faith, but if our love lacks then our faith does not count, then grace cannot be applied in our life.
Which Paul said he could have all faith so that he could remove mountains, but if he did not have charity then he is nothing.
And said some people think that living for God is money, and material things for their wants, from such withdraw yourselves, having food and clothing be content, for the love of money is the root of all evil for it neglects the poor and needy, which love is the fulfilling of the law.
And if they go by their wants then they have erred from the faith.
So Paul said if they do not have charity, love in action, works, for charity is greater than faith, then they have erred from the faith.
And James said if they do not have charity then their faith is dead.
And John said if they do not have charity then the love of God does not dwell in them, so do not love in word, and in tongue, but love in deed, works, and in truth.
So Paul, James, and John say the same thing.
We have to live up to the law which we can do by the Spirit if we hate sin, and do not want sin, and we have to have charity, works of love, for love is greater than faith, and if we go by our wants, and hold unto sin, then we lack love, then we lack faith, then we lack grace.
2Ti 3:4 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
But we live in a time of lukewarm people claiming Christ that like to hear the Bible according to their lusts, and want to enjoy sin, and money, and material things for their wants.
So they love to hear the Bible according to what they want to believe about it, so they can enjoy sin, and money, and material things, and believe they can never stumble so they do not have to have that much responsibility put upon them.
1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Php 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Instead of adhering to the strictness of the Bible that they have to conduct themselves in goodness, and abstain from sin, to be right with God.
The Lord knows them that are His having this seal, that they abstain from sin by the Spirit, and if they hold unto sin they are under the law, and the law can prosecute them.
A Spirit led life is not under the law, and a Spirit led life will not sin.
Which there are many that hold unto sin, as they enjoy sins and then say they are not under the law.
