The Gospel of JESUS the Christ is SO powerful! Look at Psalm 65:20:
20 For no person will be justified (made righteous, acquitted, and judged acceptable) in His sight by observing the works prescribed by the Law. For [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin [not mere perception, but an acquaintance with sin which works toward repentance, faith, and holy character].
Some people believe that we MUST keep the 10 commandments given to Moses in order to have Heaven as our home when we leave this earth! Nothing could be further from the TRUTH! The verse above tells us that the purpose that God had in giving the commandments to Moses was so that the His people (Israel) would be able to clearly see their need for a Saviour! The ANSWER, JESUS, is revealed in verses 21-24:
21 But now the righteousness of God has been revealed independently and altogether apart from the Law, although actually it is attested by the Law and the Prophets, 22 Namely, the righteousness of God which comes by believing with personal trust and confident reliance on Jesus Christ (the Messiah). [And it is meant] for all who believe. For there is no distinction, 23 Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives. 24 [All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,
ALL have fallen short of God's required righteousness! THAT is why ALL need a Saviour! His NAME is JESUS! When a person receives JESUS as their own personal Lord and Saviour, they receive GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS! NOW we are qualified to join Him in the Heaven of the Bible when we leave this earth! Verse 26:
26 It was to demonstrate and prove at the present time (in the now season) that He Himself is righteous and that He justifies and accepts as righteous him who has [true] faith in Jesus.
