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)...

You are always encouraging in the truth, and thanks for the compliments!

Appreciate the compliment Brother Randy, and God's blessings to your Family!

The Law of Moses being given to Israel manifested the love of God to them, and eventually to the world! He chose a “people,” which could have been any nation, to establish knowledge and faith in Himself. First, He must inform man of his guilt before Him, in order that that may choose to believe...

Perhaps no one subject is more replete with blessedness than the glory of the Bride, the Lamb’s wife. Whether we look at the grace that first brought us into it, or whether we look at the unfolding of this love in the glory of the marriage; however we look at it, it is simply beyond description...

Yes, through our new nature (new man) God "works in us" (Phl 2:13). Otherwise we would continue to be dominated by our old nature.

Are there any troubles in your life that you would like to be gone? If you’re a believer, which is one who is on your way to heaven, you can be trouble-free. Not problem free, which causes us to exercise our faith in God’s care, and allows us to be completely obedient to God! When the Lord Jesus...

We definately agree here!

Yes, once one established union with God in Christ it is a connection that will be for eternity! Only the false professors have no connection with Christ, which are many. The sin nature (old man) still tempts us to evil, but now our sin is not intentional, and this is where God wants us, in...

Salvation is a deliverance wrought by the divine work on the Cross, so as to bring us out of one position into another. It is true we are morally changed, but we want more than that—though whoever has got that will surly have all the rest (knowing right and wrong gives understanding of good and...

The law is neither the ground of life to the sinner (it being “taken away” - Heb 10:9—NC), nor the rule of life to the Christian (was intended only for Israel—NC): the Lord Jesus is both the one and the other—He is our life (Col 3:4), and He is our rule of life! The law can only curse and slay...

It's my understanding that the new heart is the result of being saved, not the cause for salvation (and not saying you're saying this, just stating a fact). The sole cause as we know is Christ's expiation for all our sin, which we have upon receiving Christ.
