I had a preacher recently tell me to keep the law and Jesus was adultery.
I told him to keep the law and Jesus was being an adult.
The thought was prompted by autocorrect but it does embody what I believe.
If you believe in Jesus, and call upon him, Jesus will help you keep the law. And in keeping the law you will be saved.
James 1:22 KJV But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Are you? The Holy Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 KJV Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing ; and I will receive you, [18] And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Do you want perfect love with the Lord, which casteth out fear? Are you living before him without sin – touching not the unclean thing?
Being deaf to the truth is a strong indicator you are on the wrong path. Being unable to do what is right may mean you are not walking in the light. Until you can demonstrably live as a child of God and follow his word, your true father may just be the Devil.
Jesus said in John 8:43-44 KJV Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. [44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Therefore pray for understanding and pray for the Holy Ghost and do.
Psalm 111:10 KJV The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments : his praise endureth for ever.
We are not called to be perfect.
What did Jesus say? Matthew 5:48 KJV
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
The entire point of Christianity is the perfection of a man or woman before and with God.
It is finished means we don’t have to do anything.
What does the Bible say?
James 1:22 KJV But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
1 Corinthians 9:24 KJV Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
Jesus work of salvation and sacrifice was finished on the cross, but as we live our work continues.
