Here is more TRUTH that bears out that it is NOT by keeping the LAW or obeying the Ten Commandments that we obtain Salvation from the LORD! Look at Romans 4:13-15:
13 For the promise to Abraham or his posterity, that he should inherit the world, did not come through [observing the commands of] the Law but through the righteousness of faith. 14 If it is the adherents of the Law who are to be the heirs, then faith is made futile and empty of all meaning and the promise [of God] is made void (is annulled and has no power). 15 For the Law results in [divine] wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression [of it either].
The LAW was given so that we would realize that it is IMPOSSIBLE for any of us to KEEP it! We will ALWAYS fall short! how do I know? Look at Romans 8:23:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
JESUS is the ONLY human being who NEVER sinned! Every one of us has failed at some time or other, many of us often! What hope is there for us? Romans 4:16-17:
16 Therefore, [inheriting] the promise is the outcome of faith and depends [entirely] on faith, in order that it might be given as an act of grace (unmerited favor), to make it stable and valid and guaranteed to all his descendants—not only to the devotees and adherents of the Law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, who is [thus] the father of us all. 17 As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed.
Verses 20-22:
20 No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God, 21 Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised. 22 That is why his faith was credited to him as righteousness (right standing with God).
YOUR faith in the shed blood and the Resurrection of JESUS is accounted to YOU as RIGHTEOUSNESS! Righteousness means: right standing with God! We HAVE that right to stand before the throne of God as though we had never sinned, BECAUSE of the Blood o JESUS! NO OTHER ANSWER will do! What have YOU done with JESUS? Let us know through the link on the left about where YOU stand with JESUS, and then let us help direct you to where you can continue to grow in the Word of God and by the Spirit of God! A good, Biblically sound local church that is a spiritual storehouse is VITAL for fulfilling our calling from God. LET'S GO! We CAN! AMEN! Here is a very old song by Hillsong called "Stepping Out":
Shalom in Him!
