The Purpose of the Law

[justbyfaith]

IF someone is abiding in Jesus, they do not worry about their so-called (false) credibility .... and they would not continue posting errors and defending those errors....

Even someone abiding in Jesus does indeed care about their credibility as a treacher.

If people stop listening and heeding what I say as a teacher, they may never get saved; and also, I would be losing out on a reward over the fact that they didn't get saved as the result of my teaching.

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 tells us to be concerned about heavenly rewards (loosely interpreted).

Or if on the contrary, if you are a false teacher still, they should stop listening and repent of listening to false teachings, and if you gave false teachings, then those who you claim were saved may be lost worse as Jesus said: "You false teachers will cross a desert or an ocean to make one convert, and make them twice the devil as yourself" ....

So everything, always, must be tested and proven before being accepted ....

And I am not a false teacher and therefore to continue to teach what I do will not make me a false teacher still.

So everything, always, must be tested and proven before being accepted ....

I don't mind it if people test and prove what I say by the word of the Lord.

In fact, I encourage them to be Bereans (Acts of the Apostles 17:10-11).

Because I also have a mental illness; and anything that I say might at any time be out-of-whack.

So I tell people not to trust in me but to check everything that I say by the word of God.

But of course I pray because of my weakness that the Holy Spirit would take over and be the One who is really doing the teaching when I speak or write or type...

Jesus absolutely saves period. And...his gift of salvation is the gift of practical righteousness (Romans 5:17; 1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6). He sheds His love abroad in our hearts through the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5)...and this love is the salvation of the Lord.

We will behave and live according to that love as the result of having been saved. It is not in word or in tongue only, but in deed and in truth (1 John 3:17-18). It is also the fulfilling of the righteousness of the law within us (Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 8:4).

However, we are not saved through our righteous behaviour; we are saved through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). And righteous behaviour follows as the result of a living and saving faith. But it is the faith that saves and also produces the righteous behaviour; while the righteous behaviour does not save. Otherwise we might be able to boast of what we did to earn our way into heaven once we get there. And no one likes a braggart.
