GRACE WITHOUT THE LAW
Jude 1:4 -For certain people have crept in
unnoticed [just as if they were sneaking in by a side door]. They are ungodly
persons whose condemnation was predicted long ago, for they distort the GRACE
of our God into DECADENCE and immoral freedom [viewing it as an opportunity to
do whatever they want], and deny and disown our only Master and Lord, Jesus
Christ.*
God's grace is covered in the Atonement of
Christ. Today we've false teachers who are condemned and claim the ATONEMENT of
Christ invalidates non-atonement laws and commandments of God; they preach
Believers should ditch the Old Testament LAWS and BOUNDARIES OF LOVING themselves,
leading to immoral freedom & decadence against the grace of God.
*Romans 3:20 - Therefore by the deeds of
the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the
knowledge of sin.*
The question we never asked is what law of
God brings the knowledge of sin? Simply the Atonement laws alone of the Old
Testament brought the knowledge of sin, seeing these sacrifices publicly
displayed sin. No one was justified long term with animal sacrifices since
people then preferred to still sin knowing a pigeon killed can help Atone for
their sin.
The LAW Paul always talks about is related to the
law of Atonement's blood sacrifices, not the 10 commandments/Agric, fashion,
dietary and other laws that help us love ourselves within recommended
boundaries.
Paul's context is no Believer in Christ gets
born-again by the laws of animal sacrifice; we're saved only by the Atonement
of Jesus Christ. So, what laws and commandments did Christ obey? There are no
scriptural records of Christ sacrificing animals for the Atonement of his disciples'
sins on earth; meaning Christ only obeyed all other 300+ non-atonement laws of
God, to fulfil the righteousness of Old Testament commandments.
We cannot obey the laws of loving our
neighbours in the commandments, without 1st adhering to the Laws of loving
yourself.
Psalm 119 shows the validity of Old Testament
laws in New Testament days. The Psalmist talks about the entire range of
benefits of the laws as the promises of God for the preservation of godliness and
sanity personally and in society.
The Atonement sacrifice of Jesus Christ cannot
wash away these benefits. Claiming you're a New Testament church/Christian
means you're a LAWLESS believer.
God's grace in Christ's Atonement covers your
faults but it won't feed you if you don't use that same grace of God to work
hard as recommended in scriptures. God's grace isn't lawlessness, it has
boundaries we must stick with, so we can enjoy the blessings of God, not
waiting for Miracles, or else it leads you into misery.
Grace without precepts, statutes, or commandments
leads to madness of sin. Define the grace of God you preach. The society we're
in today that talks only about the grace of God without scriptural boundaries
simply leads to decadence in society. The commandment says prostitution leads
to wickedness in society affecting those who aren't involved too, but we prefer
to live in the delusion that the grace of God protects us from the wickedness
of society. Listen up, cos it hasn't affected your family now doesn't make them
safe in future.
This is how we address the Grace of God with
scriptural lawless living: what use is a physically mad born-again Believers saved
by grace to the society, God, or themselves?
A physically mad Christian wouldn't be useful
in this life, same reason a sound mind/excellent spirit is a requirement to
make an impact on the earth. The laws of God are for our physical sanity in
Christianity, without which society will go mad from scriptural lawlessness.
We tend to equate the government's definition
of crime to the scriptural definition of sin. Most scriptural sins are not
crimes in society, likewise, most crimes are not sins in the scripture. When
you commit crimes that are not a sin, your guilt comes from the government, not
God.
The Holy Scripture talks about JUDGMENT, it
also means our ability to discern rightly, make godly decisions & respond
in wisdom in this life. Listen up, *there's no right judgement in life
without laws.*
All through Palm 119 the Psalmist connected
godly judgement in life (excellent spirit, sound mind) with obeying the laws, statutes,
commandments, precepts, and word of God. The bulk of God's scriptural laws and
commandments are in the Old Testament not the New Testament, so claiming the
grace of God without the laws simply means you'll physically lack sound
judgement, which is the same reason most NEW TESTAMENT Believers appeared dull in
the antichrists plandemic, though they're academically good.
I never said obeying or disobeying the 300+
non-atonement laws of God in the Old Testament scriptures would make God love
you more or less; the Scriptures didn't teach such rubbish.
We obey the 300+ laws to live well on earth in
this life, not for God to love us. And I hope you know scriptural marriage and
divorce laws are also in the 300+ laws. When we're talking about disobedience
in the body of Christ, it doesn't mean God would hate the Church, it only means
without the 300+ laws there'll be a lot of abnormalities amongst Believers.
