Since the Holy Spirit fell on His saints before Christ it would be blasphemous to suggest that His works weren't good then as well.

Maybe you should write your own Bible for all you naturally good people. I'm sure it will sell.

I enjoy reading the Hebrew perspective that you present, but scripture refers to Christ Jesus as our Sabbath rest, not a day, but a perpetual rest from our labors to present our own righteousness before God. 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another...

Jesus and Jehovah are the same God. The Old Testament is the incomplete Revelation of Jesus Christ. The New covenant is the fulfillment of the Old in Him, the fullness of the Revelation of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16...

Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry. Luke 4:1-2

For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth; 26 And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, That in my flesh I shall see God, 27 Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! Job 19:25-27

Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by Myself; The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, And shall not return, That to Me every knee shall bow, Every tongue shall take an oath.

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1John 1:7

12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” Revelation 22:12-13

The event of the return of Jesus Christ with His church will inspire repentance upon the whole nation of Israel and even upon the whole earth, upon the survivors of the plagues and terrors of the Great Tribulation, which will institute the millennial reign of Christ upon the earth. So what did...

The following passage in the book of the Revelation has the 7th Angel declaring that the kingdoms of the earth have become the kingdoms of Christ. This Angel, called the 7th Angel, is one of the Angels which stand before God, and an Angel of the church. While the order of the churches...

Now let’s consider what will be the sign of His coming when the testimony is completed. When addressing the concerns of some in the church at Thessalonica, the Apostle Paul spoke of the return of the Lord and of the gathering of His church to Himself: Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our...

Jesus shows us something of the meaning of the “fullness of the transgressors” when He addressed the religious leaders on the day before the Passover and His arrest: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the...

In the book of Ephesians we have a short passage about predestination, a contested subject, but the Apostle Paul wrote: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the...

Since God has judged the earth, as we have seen from chapter 6 of the book of Genesis, it is only just that God provides two witnesses for the adjudication of sin, the covenant of law and the covenant of mercy (or grace). Yet because God’s character is defined by more than His justice, but...

The second part in the adjudication of man’s sin is the New Covenant which is not made with the nation of Israel, but with all men. In fulfilling the covenant of law, satisfying God’s righteous requirement of the shedding of blood for the remission of sin, Jesus instituted the New Covenant, that...

While Noah feared God, he certainly wasn’t a sinless man. Chapter 9 of the book of Genesis tells us that Noah indulged in alcohol, having gotten drunk on the produce of a vineyard that he planted after the flood, and it wasn’t long before his descendants were again engaged in violence, making...

At least some of the Pharisees understood that the works Jesus performed clearly demonstrated that He was sent by God: There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for...
