Shall We Continue In Sin That Grace May Abound
Some people say that there is no law to keep in
the word of Yahweh, but that is not true. I know we
are not saved by works but by the blood of Yahshua, But if we are saved we will
keep Yahweh's commandments. For if there is no law there is no sin,
But there is a law to keep. ( 1 John 3:4 ) says that sin is the transgression of
the law, If there is no law we can Steal, Lie, Kill, Commit Adultery, or
anything we want to do and still get into Yahweh's kingdom. The only thing
that was nailed to the cross was the Curse of the law, not the law itself
. The curse of the law was death, which we are all guilty of. But
Yahoshua took our place for us. Long after Yahshua rose from the grave,
his disciples were still keeping the law. Paul's writings are
misunderstood much of the time. But what Paul is trying to get across to
us is very simple. Dead men don't need the law because dead men don't sin.
We are crucified with Yahshua and are new creatures in him. We are changed and
Yahshua lives in us, And if we will let him, He will walk perfectly in these
bodies. In the book of Romans we read: What shall we say then? Shall we
continue in sin, that grace may abound? Yahweh forbid. How shall we, that
are dead to sin, live any longer therein? For he that is dead is free from
sin. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, That ye should obey
it in the lusts thereof. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under
the law, but under grace? Yahweh forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye
yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey,
whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? This is the
freedom we have in Yahshua, Freedom from sin, Not freedom from keeping his
commandments. There is a cheap grace preached by many today, That
say sin all you want to, you are saved. But the word of Yahweh says for us
to strive for perfection. Let us not use scriptures like the one that says
if we do sin we have an advocate with the father, For an excuse to sin.
The difference between the old covenant and the new covenant is not a new set of
laws, But the same laws applied to our hearts instead of on tables of
stone.
