We cannot be justified apart from Christ (Gal 2:16), thus the Law can only show one to Christ!

With Israel there was forgiveness (Num 15:25) for sins committed in ignorance (unintentionally), which established union and eternal life with God, but not yet justification from sin until Christ (Rom 3:26); "justified by faith without the deeds of the law" (Ro 3:28). The law could not justify...

Hi, and I like everything you are saying. Technically, we died to the law of sin, and the believing Jews died to this and the Law of Moses. This is instructional the way you put it. But, I wouldn't say "victorious," because our sin nature (law in members) cannot overcome our law of the mind...

This speaks of the time when God brings Israel back unto Himself. Israel will always be in union with God, but eventually again in fellowship with Him; probably during the millennium.

I would say that the law of the Spirit is freedom, and the law of sin is bondage.

A "law" is just a principle, power or force, which doesn't differ from the Pentateuch, as it's principle teaches seek God or die the second death.

Amen! God bless!!

He is the Spirit of Life, which Life is in Christ Jesus, and those who are Christ's. It is the Life of the Lord Jesus that the Spirt applies to the believer; and not the Spirit's life but the Spirit's power to supply Christ's Life (Col 3:4). Only the Spirit of God can give this eternal Life...

I know what you mean, but but the Law couldn't justify, for it was apart from the law that faith justified (Rom 3:28). Like everything you're sharing, and thanks for the replies and comments!

The general understanding about law is that it is to inform others where their wrong. Thus the principle of law doesn't help correct but just show where correction should be. It's faith and love in God and His Word (law or principle) that brings salvation, e.g. faith in His provision of...

That the will of God, where it is expressed in the Word of God, ought to govern every Christian, every true believer will admit. But the Word of God is wiser than men; never does it set the believer under the law since the death of Christ. It was a “schoolmaster” until the Cross (schoolmaster...

I like what you said. God makes sure that we are always guided according to His will, as He "works "in us (Phl 2:13). Thus, everything is used to teach us.

Sounds good, thank you God!

That's pretty good and thanks! Our problems need not to "trouble" us (Jn 14:1, 27), and can always be seen as just problems, which are stepping stones to what God desires to tech us through them.

True! It's when we are exercising and wielding our "shield of faith" (Eph 6:16) that we are being at our strongest!!

Yes, I see what you mean. My trials are on and off and I know it will be like this until we're out.

Fortunately it doesn't matter what happens to believers, it always work out for them! Thanks for the reply and comments, and God bless.

Does everything at times seem to go awry? You can be sure it’s just the “old man”! There’s nothing you know you did intentionally wrong but for some reason the bottom has dropped out, and for now your left feeling empty, with no desire for anything—even eating; and this uneasiness is something...

Hi, and appreciate the encouraging comment!

As a person, my Father conceived me in His heart of love back in the eternal counsels of the Trinity. “According as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love; having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to...
