You are promoting a fear works based salvation where a person doesn't know from minute to minute whether or not they're saved. This is unscriptural. Just like Abraham we are justified by faith not works. When a person receives Jesus he becomes a child of God. Sure there is obediance and repentance but it's not the chore you make it out to be. Jesus is not waiting there ready to pounce on us when we make mistakes. We receive the Holy Spirit and are sanctified and are a work in progress.

@Duck4212 Matthew 5:17 "“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Jesus came to fulfill the law..we are able to follow his commandments because of the power of the Holy Spirit. The bible cleary tells in 1 Thess. 5:23 "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. " We need to be blameless!

@ellennoh5 How did Jesus fulfill the Law? He took our sins onto himself and paid the penalty of ALL our sin under the Law. We are no longer under penalty of the Law becasue He paid the penalty IN FULL for us. We are still sons of Adam and the flesh and are unable to keep the Law but ALL of our sins past present and future died with Him on the cross. We repent by admiting that we are sinners and we obey by receiving Jesus.We accept Spirit and we ARE without sin and blameless in the eyes of God

@Duck4212 so you're against what Jesus has said in his words! Blasphemy.  Why do we have to be reminded of sins? Because he doesn't want to live like we did anymore. He wants us to fulfill the law..

the ten commandments with the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 3:31 "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid! Yea, we establish the law." Why? God forgave us when we were sinners.

Now when we live by faith in Christ and we walk in the Spirit, we naturally fulfill the law.

[Duck4212]

@ellennoh5 The Law was upheld through Jesus on the cross, not us.

Rom 3:28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the actions prescribed by the Law.

Rom 3:31 Do we, then, abolish the Law by this faith? Of course not! Instead, we uphold the Law.

Act 15:10-11 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved,

[ellennoh5]

@Duck4212 Jesus told us to love one another.

John 15:12 "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you"

Romans 13:8 "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another,

for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.".

Love fulfills the law. Law is not something that Jesus came to abolish but he fulfilled it by

loving us. If you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, you will know what I mean.

The lord wants to see your light, hold it high for all to see.

@ellennoh5 The ONLY WAY we can love one another the way Jesus loved us is to receive his spirit. We are not capable of His love any other way. And of course if we receive Him and become a child of God we are sinless in God's eyes and the Law cannot judge us. Since there is no sin the Law is meaningless.

To answer your question: Yes, if we love others they way He loved us then we would have kept the Law. The only problem is that we do not have the capability to do that without eternal life..

[Duck4212]

@ellennoh5 Jesus didn't abolish the Law He fulfilled it (not us) by taking on all of ours sins past, present and future and paying the penalty for all of us for all time. His (grace) death satisfied the Law and all sin was eliminated for those who received His Spirit. Since there is no more sin or condemnation for those in Christ the Law as a judgment tool is eliminated since the Laws only purpose was to show sin. All in Christ are sinless in God's eyes. We believe and have eternal life.

[Duck4212]

@ellennoh5 Your wrongly understand the gospel,ellennoh5.. Read Romans Chapter 7. Obediance to Jesus us not keeping the 10 commandments for salvation. It's simply receiving his spirit in faith in which case the Law no longer has any claim to us because Jesus paid the penalty for us for all of our sins past , present and future. The Law has been satisfied by Jesus death and is no longer a death sentence to those who have by faith received his spirit. We are sinless in the eyes of God.

[Duck4212]

@Duck4212 When we receive his Spirit we ARE then righteous before God by faith and WE HAVE eternal life by the power of His Spirit. His Spirit does ALL the work as we can do nothing in addition to justify ourselves before God. God does not try to make us acceptable to Him in our flesh because our sinful flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom. As sons of Adam, our bodies die to sin as Jesus died to sin but our souls are saved with the Spirit and we live on. We obey Jesus by receiving Him.
