    Does Grace replace the law?

    @Behold In Acts 3:25-25, Jesus was sent as the promised seed to bless us by turning us from our wickedness, but do you think that the way to be blessed is actually by devoting ourselves to being doers of what the Law of Moses reveals to be wickedness and that the way to be cursed is actually...

    Does Grace replace the law?

    I would have no problem whatsoever with listing over 30 of them, so that is a false accusation. However, the issue of whether or not everything in the Law of Moses is in regard to how to love God and our neighbor has nothing to do with how many of its laws I can post from memory. Sin is what...

    Does Grace replace the law?

    According to Deuteronomy 4:2, it is a sin to add to or subtract from the Law of God, so if someone takes the position that Jesus expanded it, then they are also taking the position that he sinned, but if someone takes the position that Jesus never sinned, then they are also taking the position...

    Does Grace replace the law?

    In Deuteronomy 5:31-33, Moses wrote down everything that God spoke to him without departing from it. In Romans 10:5-8, Paul referred to Deuteronomy 30 as being the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to the righteousness that is by faith proclaiming that the Law of God is not too difficult...

    Does Grace replace the law?

    Everything that Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount was based on what was taught in the OT, so he was not sinning by expanding on anything, but rather he was fulfilling the law by teaching how to correctly obey it as it was originally intended. Everything in the Mosaic Law is either in...

    Salvation : A Gift from God.

    God's gift of salvation is getting to experience being a doer of the Law of God (Titus 2:11-13).

    Does Grace replace the law?

    The Hebrew word “yada” refers to intimate relationships/knowledge gained by experience, such as with Genesis 4:1 where Adam knew (yada) Eve, she conceived, and gave birth to Cain. God’s way is the way to know (yada) Him and Jesus by having the experience of embodying His character traits, which...

    Does Grace replace the law?

    Grace is a gift and gifts can't be earned, so grace is incompatible with works insofar as they are done in order to earn a wage, however, works can be done for other reasons that are compatible with grace, which is why there are verses that say that God is gracious to us by teaching us to obey...

    Does Grace replace the law?

    Do you believe in the existence of the God who has the character traits that the Law of God was given in order to teach us how to embody or do you think that this God was temporary until faith came? Nowhere does the Bible say that the Law of God was designed for that purpose. We can't earn our...

    Does Grace replace the law?

    In Matthew 4, Jesus preceded a quote from what was written by saying "it is written...", but in Matthew 5, he proceeded a quote from what the people had heard being said by saying "you have heard that it was said...", so Jesus was not sinning in violation of Deuteronomy 4:2 by adding to or...

    The Law of Moses : Can't Define a CHRISTian. #1

    In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey His law, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so this has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace through faith alone. In Ephesians 2:8-10, we...

    The Gospel for today so why the confusion ?

    Please interact with what I’ve said rather than ignoring it while copying and pasting the same post that I have already responded to.

    The Gospel for today so why the confusion ?

    Jesus saves us from our sin (Matthew 1:21) and sin is the transgression of the Law of God (1 John 3:4), so there is an intrinsic connection between our gift of salvation and our gift of getting to experience being a doer of the Law of God. Jesus graciously teaching us to experience being a doer...

    I agree with all of them, though not necessarily your interpretation of them.

    I have already responded to those verses.

    The Gospel for today so why the confusion ?

    While Paul denied in Romans 4:1-5 that we can earn our righteousness as the result of our works, he also affirmed in Romans 2:13 that only the doers of the Law of God will be declared righteous, so there is a reason why our righteousness requires us to choose to be a doer of it other than in...

    The Gospel for today so why the confusion ?

    Works can be done for a variety of reasons such as in order to earn a wage or in order to embody our faith, such as with all of the examples of faith listed in Hebrews 11 being examples of people doing works or with James 2:18 saying that he would show his faith through his works. James is...

    The Gospel for today so why the confusion ?

    In Titus 2:14, Jesus gave himself to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own possession who are zealous for doing good works, so the way to trust in what Jesus spent his ministry teaching and in what he accomplished through the cross is by repenting and...

    The Gospel for today so why the confusion ?

    It is not about doing enough works to earn our salvation as the result. Jesus saves us from our sin (Matthew 1:21) and sin is the transgression of the Law of God (1 John 3:4), so the way to tell that Jesus is giving someone the gift of saving someone from not being a doer of the Law of God is...

    We can't Earn : What is FREE

    God's character traits are eternal there is a reality that is true about the way to know God through embodying character traits that was true before God made any covenants with man, which has been revealed through God's covenants, and which is true regardless of which covenant someone is under...
