THE CHURCH CONSISTS OF JEWS AND GENTILES WHO HAVE ACCEPTED
JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR: JEWS ARE NO LONGER JEWS,
AND GENTILES ARE NO LONGER GENTILES: THEY ARE CHRISTIANS!
John 1:17 - For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Acts 13:38-39 - Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man (Jesus Christ) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by Him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the Law of Moses.
Acts 15:22-24 - Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: and they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the Law: to whom we gave no such commandment.
Romans 3:19-22 - Now we know that what things so ever the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the Law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the Law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without (apart from) the Law is manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the prophets; even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference.
Romans 9:31-33 - But Israel, which followed after the Law of righteousness, has not attained (lived up to) to the Law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the Law. For they stumbled at that Stumbling-stone; as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a Stumbling-stone and Rock of offence: and whosoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed.
Romans 10:3-4 - For they (Israel) being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to every one who believes.
Romans 13:8-10 - Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the Law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.
Galatians 2:16 - Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law: for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 5:14 - For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY BE GOOD ENOUGH TO OBEY ALL THE LAW!
THANKS BE TO GOD, FOR HE HAS PROVIDE THE GIFT OF SALVATION
TO ALL WHO SIMPLY PLACE THEIR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST!
