And yet, I assure you, I was raised under the law and am a Jew by birth. It has been a difficult path to understand Grace.

I would love to explain it to you.

I would love to explain it to you.
The law that God gave to Moses were many things to do and things not to do. The law also included a purification works.
Do you agree and understand so far?
Yes. Clearly so far. I will be offline for tonite, but will read whatever you write as soon as possible tomorrow morning. Looking forward to it.

The old law was a teaching tool about what was going to come in the future.
Jesus is who was coming.
The old law then was a shadow of Jesus Christ.
Colossians 2:17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
Hebrews 10:1
The Law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
If you could get over your obedience fetish I think you could preach the gospel. Keep working hard to obey and maybe you'll stumble and fall over your pride.
It is not a hard work, it is light and easy and not burdensome.
There is nothing I would rather do than obey God.
There is nothing I would rather do then preach the gospel of Christ's obedience which is perfect, finished and completed.
Jesus is God's Word.
Do you fully comprehend what that means?
Do you comprehend that your so-called obedience is the filthiest of filthy rags and the stink of a stench in the nostrils of God?
