We have an endless treasure consisting of unsearchable riches in Christ. We own the mine of God's word.Don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch.
All we have to do in order to extract those riches is to find them in God's word.
The mine (God's word) is an inexhaustible resource and in having it, we are rich beyond compare.
Thanks be to God for Jesus' fulfillment of the Law so we don't need to keep it anymore.Mat 5:17, Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18, For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mat 5:19, Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:20, For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Thanks be to God for making the righteousness of the true NT believer greater than that if the Law keeping Pharisees and scribes of the OT.
So, you can retract your statement that you keep the law perfectly.I do, but I am not under the Law, so it matters not to me.
I can walk as far as I want on Saturday and Sunday.
Distance doesn't affect salvation, or love for God or neighbor.
No one does (Galatians 6:13).
Sure.We have an endless treasure consisting of unsearchable riches in Christ. We own the mine of God's word.
All we have to do in order to extract those riches is to find them in God's word.
The mine (God's word) is an inexhaustible resource and in having it, we are rich beyond compare.
It is there for the taking.
But we don't have it unless we have it.
It is only "potentially" ours until we actually have it.
You will be called the least in the kingdom according to the passage.Thanks be to God for Jesus' fulfillment of the Law so we don't need to keep it anymore.

We have the mine and therefore we own the riches in it.Sure.
It is there for the taking.
But we don't have it unless we have it.
It is only "potentially" ours until we actually have it.
I can, and so can you, keep the law of Christ perfectly.So, you can retract your statement that you keep the law perfectly.
No one does (Galatians 6:13).
To fail to, would make rebirth inconsequential.
Jesus too, I guess, as He "worked" on the sabbath a bunch of times.You will be called the least in the kingdom according to the passage.
But the law of Christ includes the least of the commandments in the Old and New Testaments (Matthew 5:17-20).I can, and so can you, keep the law of Christ perfectly.
To fail to, would make rebirth inconsequential.
How then can we obey it perfectly?
I don't even own tzitzit and tallit; or a chofar.
Won't do anyone any good until the gold is in your hand.We have the mine and therefore we own the riches in it.
Jesus was Lord of the sabbath. He came as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedec, not after a carnal commandment but after the power of an endless life.Jesus too, I guess, as He "worked" on the sabbath a bunch of times.
He re-defined the sabbath day laws with two stipulations:
1) the sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath
2) it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
As long as you are willing to work in order to extract the gold, the gold is as good as being in your hand.Won't do anyone any good until the gold is in your hand.
That is an error.But the law of Christ includes the least of the commandments in the Old and New Testaments (Matthew 5:17-20).
We don't need to, as we are dead to the Law...."Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.How then can we obey it perfectly?
I don't even own tzitzit and tallit; or a chofar.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter." (Rom 7:4-6)
So there is a Law that no longer needs "keeping".Jesus was Lord of the sabbath. He came as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedec, not after a carnal commandment but after the power of an endless life.
He re-defined the sabbath day laws with two stipulations:
1) the sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath
2) it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
It isn't.That is an error.
Christ's own words; and therefore His law:
Mat 5:18, For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mat 5:19, Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
We still rest according to the spirit of that law; and spend our time with God.So there is a Law that no longer needs "keeping".
I don't have x-ray vision, so you cannot prove there is anything valuable in the dirt.As long as you are willing to work in order to extract the gold, the gold is as good as being in your hand.
One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Dead to the law of Christ?We don't need to, as we are dead to the Law...
I rest assured that there are untold riches in the word of the Lord.I don't have x-ray vision, so you cannot prove there is anything valuable in the dirt.
One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
