With the coming of the New Covenant, the faithful are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and have become living temples of God. By the Holy Spirit within us, a greater than the sabbath is here. By the Holy Spirit, the Lord God Almighty lives and walks in us and in him, we live, move, and have our being.

I think of the ten commandments as representing the minimum standard, that has been changed a bit to address the intent of the heart and not just the outward act. To love the Lord and to love others as one's self fulfils the law. For example; to lust for another is now adultery in one's heart...

I agree with you, the scripture that you've posted here is the truth, but scripture in my post is also true. That being so, as I see it; the law is abolished in Christ, according to scripture, but for those who have not repented and asked for forgiveness and obtained faith in Jesus, they are...

I believe the worldly repent one sin at a time and from a perspective of personal impact while the godly repents of their collective sin, their total unrighteousness, from a perspective of how that has impacted the entire world. I was raised going to church, I but was not taught that there...

After studying how salvation works, this is my conclusion: As a member of the body of Christ ministers the gospel to a lost person, the Holy Spirit calls that person to the Lord and convicts him or her of sins. If that person responds with a godly sorrow rather than a sorrow after the world...

Heb 9: 13-15 "For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead...

Scripture tells us: Man shall live by the sweat of his brow: Hard work well done imparts a joy of accomplishment, which in turn leads to a sense of well-being. In the beginning the Lord established a seven-day week, in which we were given six days to work with a day to rest up. As mentioned...

Paul tells us that the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. In fact, at some point in the future the faithful whom the Lord foreknew are predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ. But we begin our journey of transformation as babes...

Before faith we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith that should afterwards be revealed. The law is good, just, and spiritual. I think of it as containing the minimum standard of acceptable outward behavior which mankind was unable to keep. It is our schoolmaster that is meant to...

The difference between stumbling and falling away is that when we stumble, we get back up. For example, the man in 1 Cor, who was having his father's wife was shunned by the church congregation and had his body delivered unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his soul might be saved...

Heb 12: 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks of better things than that of Able. The term new covenant is mentioned 4 times in scripture and if you look up the Greek definition for all four you'll see that it means covenant, or testament...

Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law until all is fulfilled. Now we know that what things soever the law says, it says to them who are under the law that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Before faith we...

Gal 5 "Christ has become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law, ye are fallen from grace." 1 Cor 7: 8, 9 "I say to the unmarried and widows, it is good if they remain even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn."

Unto us a child is born and unto us a Son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. His name shall be called Wonderful, Councilor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace. Philip said to Jesus, 'show us the Father and it will suffice.'. Jesus replied, 'if...

We were created to be loved and to love the Lord in return. The Lord desires to have us be with him forever, and moved in such a way that we might have free will as he does and at the same time protects the faithful from eventually being cut off by sin once we choose him. From Adam till the...

Jn 1: 1-3 KJV "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things that were made were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made."

Unto the pure, all things are pure; but unto the defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure... The Lord looks to the heart. Happy is the man that condemns not himself in the thing that he allows.

Adam's sin made all who were born afterwards to be born without the Holy Spirit indwelling them. This caused us to need a Savior, which made us free from being cut off from the Lord, one by one as we eventually fell since all of our sins were dealt with once and for all time.

Gal 3: 23 Before faith we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith that should afterwards be revealed. The law of sin and death was added 430 yrs after the promise of faith due to transgressions. It was and is good holy just and spiritual. It contains the minimum standard of good...

Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall in wise pass from the law until is fulfilled. Before faith came we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith that should afterwards be reviled. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by...
