Romans 10:10: For with the heart, man believes unto Righteousness...(presents the word"believing" in a mode of thinking," not a feeling; the "believing" has to do with believing Christ, and that His Sacrifice of Himself Atoned for all sin.)
The Cross of Christ is as necessary for sanctification as it is for salvation (1 Cor. 1:18).
John 6:53 - "Except you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His Blood (i.e., the Cross, i.e., The Finished Work), you have no life in you," (presents the demand that caused "many of His Disciples to go back, and walk no more with Him" [John 6:66]. It does the same presently! This Verse tells us the degree of believing that is required; it refers to the Cross being the total Object of one's belief; failing that, there is no Life in you.)
John 6:66 - From that time many of His Disciples went back, and walk no more with Him.
Sanctifying peace allows the Holy Spirit to deliver the Believer into the death of Christ so Christ life is manifested through the Believer (2 Cor. 4:11, Gal. 2:20-21, Romans 8:2,13, John 14:21). I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me (Who Jesus Is), and gave himself for me (What Jesus Has Done on the Cross for us where the victory was won). Gal. 2:20
If The Believer doesn't enter into the LORD's rest, they die in the wilderness...only a few enter into His rest!

That is simply ignorant. How does the law requiring a woman suspected of infidelity to drink poison point to the blood of Jesus? How does Satan's appearance before the throne room in Job 1 point to the blood of Jesus? How does Jethro's advice to Moses in Genesis 18 point to the blood of Jesus?
No, He said the Law and the prophets testify about Him. There's a difference.
Really? Where is the Scripture supporting this statement?
I did not say He will leave you (for now), but He will not help you. Why do Christians divorce? Because grace is not working in that marriage. That couple's Faith is not in Christ and Him Crucified. Therefore, the works of the flesh (the law of sin and death) is ruling (the sin nature). The Holy Spirit ONLY WORKS IN A BELIEVER LIFE if their faith is anchored in Christ and the Cross. He only works between Christ and the Cross. see 2 Cor. 4:11-12

1¶Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3¶For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
