A genuine Christian will always allow God to "work" in him, because that's what God is doing; causing him to do "will and do His good pleasure"!

It happens all in good time because it's God "working"!

One who is born again will live for God, because He will "work in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure" (Phl 2:13). If He doesn't "work in you," you're not His!

God has not "cast away His people" (Rom 11:1, 2). Those among Israel that believe in God but not in Christ are still in union with God, but not in fellowship; and the rest of Israel who do not believe in God have not obtained union with Him: "Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for...

If we are talking the Law of Moses (Pentateuch), it was "taken away" (Heb 10:9); plus the Law was only to Israel (Jews).

The word "law" has two basic meanings: the Decalogue; or a principle or force. A good example I think is "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ" (Gal 6:2). "Fulfil the law of Christ"; which is the law of love to one another, John 13:34 in opposition to the law of...

Amen, faith first, which is all that is necessary for salvation; then eventually as we mature comes the proof of being in Christ's righteousness by the works of His righteousness!

Being "righteous" began with Noah (Gen 6:8; 7:1), but this righteousness always comes from God, and thus it is always God's righteousness people are in, for they have none of their own (due to possessing the old man or sin nature). This answers to "There is none righteous, no, not one" (as to...

They were "forgiven" when they by faith obeyed the Law (Num 15:25, 26). This didn't bring righteousness (which can only be imputed from Christ) nor justification, just moral favor with God. Grace and fellowship comes by faith the Lord Jesus.

Obeying the Law, which anyone can do, brought blessings but not righteousness, which is needed to be imputed from the Lord Jesus for fellowship with God. Israel had union with God through faith and obedience to the Law, but fellowship comes only through Christ. Today Jews believe and obey God's...

The Lord Jesus revealed two distinct lines of truth. In the first, He presented Himself as Israel’s Messiah and called upon that nation for their long-predicted national repentance, in which He also declared the character of His earthly kingdom rule and Himself as the Fulfiller of the great...

Law has two meanings: the Law of Moses, or law as in a power, principle, enforcement e.g. police, government, etc. Christians go beyond Law, to where there is no need for law or enforcement (Gal 5:23). The Spirit guides them and enables them: "The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit...

The Decalogue was to prove that man could not keep the Law, and was in need of a Savior. Like the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, He knew they would partake; but it's all part of His plan to deliver us.

To me it's all spiritual, the physical just shows it. It's also my understanding that it's too late for salvation for those who die and go to hell; and those who die in God go to heaven, where Abraham was (Luk 16:22), which is also "paradise" (Luk 23:43). We either go to heaven or hell, and both...

Yes, the Law was God's love to inform man of His sin and guilt, but could not deliver; but only show how to be delivered (Gal 3:24, 25).

"That sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful" that the corruption of nature might not only be seen and known to be sin, but exceeding sinful; as being not only contrary to the pure and holy nature of God, but as taking occasion by the pure and holy law of God to exert itself the...

It's my understanding that cover and forgive are synonymous (Num 15:25, 26). Paradise was synonymous with heaven (Luk 23:43). Your right that Jesus' Blood does more than forgive sin, it also nullifies sin's dominion over us (Rom 6:14); though we yet possess the sin nature, fresh grace...

The Law was about morality, desiring to do good to one another. The Gospel is desiring to do what God wants us to do. Though love to one another is part of the Gospel and is the most important (Jhn 15:12), it involves living "by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Mat 4:4)...
