The unrighteous christian sinners are accusing the righteous doers of Jesus' word and law of making Jesus' death on the cross of none effect, as though it were incomplete for them.

They say that His work on the cross makes christians automatically forgiven of all their sinning they will be doing unto death, as well as securing their souls in heaven forever, just waiting for their bodies to stop sinning on earth with the grave.

They say that being justified by doing His righteousness with a pure heart, and not by dead faith alone, is declaring Jesus' death insufficient for them, They are proud boasters who love to justify themselves by their own works of the law.

They even deny doing righteousness without also sinning is possible, much less necessary to be justified by Christ.

They also declare the written letters of the law of Christ in Scripture are now all dead, so that no one can even transgress God's law anymore, much less be justified by doing it.

Here is where we see the lawless at heart are in fact the ones declaring the death of Jesus for sins, was insufficient to justify their own sinning unto the end, which should have include His law.

Their delusional teaching that Jesus needed to kill His own law at the cross, as well as the power of sin over His people, shows what they really wished He had done.

After all, if only the power of sin were put to death in Christ, then the unrighteous christian sinners have even less excuse for sinning than the world: they need the law dead too, so as do away with righteous judgment altogether.

Since the death of Jesus was insufficient for their own self-justification with lifetime sinning, they therefore have crucified His law unto themselves on their own cross, rather than crucifying their sinning as Scripture commands us to do.

And so, since Jesus didn't get the whole job done for them, they finish it once for all for themselves: no law, no sin, no judgment.

Just live by faith only, and so long as they believe it, it's right and good and true, and no law they have crucified on their cross, can possibly speak against them.

(Scripture neither, since it's only dead letters on a page.)

With all the hard work and deep dives into the depths of corrupt doctrine, you'd think it would be much more simple and easy just to repent of sinning, with power of Jesus to do good rather than evil.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.


The yoke of bondage is not the law of God, but transgressing against Him and His law is bondage to sinning.

Just killing His law outright by way of vain imagination in high places doesn't really work, because His spiritual, good, and holy law is too high for them to reach up and nail it to their cross:

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.


Even if these filthy dreamers were somehow to crucify the law to themselves, and really believe His law is dead, God would just lump them in with them perishing without law:

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.)


No one sinning unto the grave, doing despite to the Spirit of grace, will escape the righteous judgment of Christ according to His law and gospel, no matter where they try to fly away from their conviction for sinning, whether through mystically high delusion, or downright lowly lying:

And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.

Christ's finished work of redemption is sufficient and complete to save believers. No supplements needed. (Romans 3:24-28) God imputes righteousness apart from works/we are saved through faith, not works -- hence, 'faith alone.' (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9).

The OP is correct regarding the matter that we as believers on Jesus Christ will continue... to slip up afterwards and sin. That in NO WAY detracts from what Lord Jesus did on His cross for us. It only reveals that we are to continue our WALK in Him all the way to the end.

Rom 3:24-25
24 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

KJV

Apostle Paul was specific as to which... sins are forgiven by Faith on The Father through Jesus Christ. Sins that are PAST. So how does He cover sins that we might do in the future, you might ask?

Apostle John explained that in 1 John 1, telling us we need to REPENT to Jesus of future sin, and Jesus is faithful and just to forgive us. Notice in the prayer Jesus gave to say in Luke 11, it includes our asking forgiveness of our sins, and even of those who sin against us.

Thus to say once we have believed on Jesus Christ and been baptized, that we no more have need to repent of future sin, that is actually allowing the devil to take over your behavior, because he will if you believe you cannot sin anymore in your flesh.
