William Kelly (1821-1906) “Every believer is regarded by God as alive from the dead, to bring forth fruit (not works) unto God (the fruit or works of the Spirit are by the Spirit through the believer; thus the believer is controlled by the Spirit in His fruit—NC). The law only deals with a man...

You could be an encouraging source instead of being an "accuser of the brethren" (Rev 12:10). Would be a nice change! God bless!!

How one gives is what matters with God: "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity" (2Co 9:7). One gives according to how they want to give. "He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap...

Amen, and thanks for the reply, on which I agree; but if a person only wants to give a tithe or even less it's acceptable: "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly."

Appreciate the reply and comments Brother! God bless!!

The second year after the exodus, God introduced the law of tithing into the economy of Israel. It was included with other laws connected with Israel’s worship via the Tabernacle. The chief purpose of the tithe was to provide for the Levitical service of the Tabernacle. “Behold, I have given the...

It's okay, but I don't understand what you're trying to say here about "generic." God bless!

Amen (Ro 8:9). God bless!

Me too, God bless!

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!
