Jesus expressed his righteousness by setting an example of how to walk in obedience to God's law, so God's law describes the behaviors that you might expect.

Righteousness is not something that can be earned as a wage even through perfect obedience (Romans 4:1-5). In Romans 3:21-22, it doesn't say that the Law and the Prophets testify that the righteousness of God comes through perfect obedience, but rather the only way to become righteous that is...

All throughout the Bible, God wanted His people to repent and to return to obedience to His law and even Jesus began his ministry with that message. It is absurd to think that God does not want us to refrain from sin. Do you really think that God wants to be disobeyed? The fact that we can't...

Everything that Jesus taught was thoroughly rooted in the OT. In Matthew 5:17-19, Jesus said that he came to fulfill the law in contrast with saying that he came not to abolish it and he warned against relaxing the least part, so you should not interpret it as meaning the same thing as...

In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and the Mosaic Law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of...

Sorry for not being clear. For example, God promised that through Abraham's children all of the nations of the earth will be blessed. This promise is not earned as the result of our works, but rather the only way to receive it is through faith. God's law is how the children of Abraham know...

No. In Acts 3:25-26, Jesus came are the promised seed to bless us by turning us from our wickedness, so while we do not earn the promise as the result of our works, the content of what is promised is still in regard to Jesus leading us to obey God's law. The only way for someone to become...

Something that we inherit is a gift, so while we do not earn the promise as the result of our obedience to God's law, that does not mean that the content of what is promised is not in regard to what will happen if we are doers of God's law.

In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and God's law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of the...

While the only way for someone to attain a character trait is through faith, what it means for someone to attain a character trait is for them to become a doer of that trait. So the only way for someone to become courageous is through faith apart from being required to have first done enough...

In Romans 10:5-8, it refers to Deuteronomy 30 as the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to proclaiming that the Torah is not too difficult for us to obey and that obedience to it brings life and a blessing while disobedience brings death and a curse, so choose life! So it was presented as...

You are blatantly taking the parable of the wineskins out of context. Jesus set a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Torah and the way to follow him is by following his example, not by refusing to follow his example. If you want to deny the truth of what Romans...

Christ spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Torah by word and by example, so it is contradictory to choose between following Christ or following what he taught. In other words, God's word is His instructions for how to follow God's word made flesh. God is sovereign, so we are...

I didn't suggest that. I agree that they don't mix, though I disagree that they refer to God's covenants or to the resurrection.

That is precisely what Galatians 3:16-19 says. If a new covenant nullifies the promises of a covenant that has already been ratified, then that would mean that God is a liar who breaks His promises, but that is not what that verse is saying. Jesus being sinless is a basic Christian doctrine...

Please quote what you find confusing so that I can clarify it. Luke 5:33 And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink.” Jesus gave the parable of the wineskins to address the above question, so...

A new covenant does not nullify the promises of a covenant that has already been ratified, so God's covenants are cumulative. The Mosaic Covenant is eternal (Exodus 31:14-17, Leviticus 24:8), so the only way that it can be replaced by the New Covenant is if it cumulative with the Mosaic...

According to Galatians 5:14, anyone who has ever loved their neighbor has fulfilled the entire law, so again it refers to correctly obeying it as it should be, moreover, it refers to something that countless people have done. Likewise, Galatians 6:2, bearing one another's burdens fulfills the...

God’s law was never given as something that we should obey on our own apart from God.

In Deuteronomy 13, the way that God instructed His children to determine that someone is a false prophet who is not speaking for Him is if they teach against obeying the Torah, so it is people who interpret him in a way that turns him against obeying it that make him out to be a false teacher...
