BELIEVERS ARE STILL UNDER THE LAW
In this day and age of 'easy believism' it's hard to get Spirit-indwelt, born-again Believers to understand that even though they are saved under grace…they are also most definitely 'under' God's Laws. The foolish idea that because Believers are saved by grace they do not have to obey God's Laws is ludicrous! And yet many in the Church believe that. The idea that Believers are not under Yahweh's Laws come from a misinterpretation of Romans 6.14. The Apostle Paul says in Romans 6:14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Brethren, that verse is talking about (people) trying to obey Yahweh's Laws in order to be or get or stay saved. You see, IF you believe that a person gets saved or keeps themselves saved by keeping Yahweh's New Testament Laws (i.e. commandments) then the Law(s) of Yahweh are your 'master.' (By the way…there are over 800 New Testament Church Laws in the Scriptures!) And the only way to overcome that 'master' would be by keeping all of Yahweh's (800) Laws perfectly! And you and I both know that's never going to happen!
Here's another Bible verse where the Apostle Paul speaks of the Law. 1 Timothy 1:8 But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully. Brethren, the words commandments and laws are synonymous! When Yeshua Christ told His Followers, "IF you truly love ME…you will keep My commandments." He could have just as easily said, "IF you truly love ME…you will keep MY laws'! The words commandment and law were used interchangeably all the time in the Old Testament. And in the New Testament Yahweh's commandments didn't stop being His laws just because the words commandments is used more often!
So, IF you're one of those Remnant Believers who loves to hear the Truths of Scriptures being taught…ENJOY what I'm sharing! Because I know that what I share in all my podcasts will encourage the spiritual hearts and minds of those Believers who love to learn the Truths of Scriptures!
Your true friend in Christ,
