WE ESTABLISH THE LAW THROUGH FAITH

WE ESTABLISH THE LAW, THROUGH FAITH 

Romans 7:7 

What shall we say then? Is The Law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by The Law: for I had not known lust, except The Law had said, Thou Shalt Not Covet.

Romans 3:20 

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.

Romans 7:2-4 

For the woman which hath an husband is bound by The Law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from The Law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from That Law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 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.

Romans 3:19-28 

Now we know that what things soever The Law saith, it saith to them 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 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 Them That Believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of The Glory Of God; Being Justified Freely By His Grace Through The Redemption That Is In Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth To Be A Propitiation through Faith In His Blood, To Declare His Righteousness For The Remission Of Sins That Are Past, Through The Forbearance Of God; To Declare, I Say, At This Time His Righteousness: That He Might Be Just, And The Justifier Of Him Which Believeth In Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what Law? Of works? Nay: But By The Law Of Faith. Therefore We Conclude That A Man Is Justified By Faith Without The Deeds Of The Law.

Romans 7:6 

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.

Romans 3:31

Do We Then Make Void The Law Through Faith? 

GOD FORBID: YEA, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW.

CHRIST, WHO IS OUR LIFE

CHRIST, WHO IS OUR LIFE

Colossians 3:3-4 

For Ye Are Dead, And Your Life Is Hid With Christ In God. WHEN CHRIST, WHO IS OUR LIFE, Shall Appear, Then Shall Ye Also Appear With Him In Glory.

Hid: Conceal from exposure; keep out of sight; Conceal from the view or notice of others.

Christ Is Our Life So That We Can Appear With Him In Glory.

When God Looks At Us Now, We Are Hidden With Christ, BUT WHEN CHRIST, WHO IS OUR LIFE, Shall Appear, Then Shall Ye Also Appear With Him In Glory.

WE ARE HIDDEN WITH CHRIST!!!

HEAR THE WORD 

Revelation 1:5 

And From Jesus Christ, Who Is The Faithful Witness, And The First Begotten Of The Dead, And The Prince Of The Kings Of The Earth. Unto Him That Loved Us, And Washed Us From Our Sins In His Own Blood,

1 John 2:2 

And He Is The Propitiation For Our Sins: And Not For Ours Only, But Also For The Sins Of The Whole World.

Matthew 13:3-23

And He Spake Many Things Unto Them In Parables, Saying, Behold, A Sower Went Forth To Sow; And When He Sowed, Some Seeds Fell By The Way Side, And The Fowls Came And Devoured Them Up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and Forthwith They Sprung Up, Because They Had No Deepness Of Earth: And When The Sun Was Up, They Were Scorched; And Because They Had No Root, They Withered Away. And Some Fell Among Thorns; And The Thorns Sprung Up, And Choked Them: But Other Fell Into Good Ground, And Brought Forth Fruit, Some An Hundredfold, Some Sixtyfold, Some Thirtyfold. Who Hath Ears To Hear, Let Him Hear. And The Disciples Came, And Said Unto Him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said Unto Them, Because It Is Given Unto You To Know The Mysteries Of The Kingdom Of Heaven, But To Them It Is Not Given. For Whosoever Hath, To Him Shall Be Given, And He Shall Have More Abundance: But Whosoever Hath Not, From Him Shall Be Taken Away Even That He Hath. Therefore Speak I To Them In Parables: Because They Seeing See Not; And Hearing They Hear Not, Neither Do They Understand. And In Them Is Fulfilled The Prophecy Of Esaias, Which Saith, By Hearing Ye Shall Hear, And Shall Not Understand; And Seeing Ye Shall See, And Shall Not Perceive: For This People's Heart Is Waxed Gross, And Their Ears Are Dull Of Hearing, And Their Eyes They Have Closed; Lest At Any Time They Should See With Their Eyes, And Hear With Their Ears, And Should Understand With Their Heart, And Should Be Converted, And I Should Heal Them. But Blessed Are Your Eyes, For They See: And Your Ears, For They Hear. For Verily I Say Unto You, That Many Prophets And Righteous Men Have Desired To See Those Things Which Ye See, And Have Not Seen Them; And To Hear Those Things Which Ye Hear, And Have Not Heard Them. Hear Ye Therefore The Parable Of The Sower. When Any One Heareth The Word Of The Kingdom, And Understandeth It Not, Then Cometh The Wicked One, And Catcheth Away That Which Was Sown In His Heart. This Is He Which Received Seed By The Way Side. But He That Received The Seed Into Stony Places, The Same Is He That Heareth The Word, And Anon With Joy Receiveth It; Yet Hath He Not Root In Himself, But Dureth For A While: For When Tribulation Or Persecution Ariseth Because Of The Word, By And By He Is Offended. He Also That Received Seed Among The Thorns Is He That Heareth The Word; And The Care Of This World, And The Deceitfulness Of Riches, Choke The Word, And He Becometh Unfruitful. But He That Received Seed Into The Good Ground Is He That Heareth The Word, And Understandeth It; Which Also Beareth Fruit, And Bringeth Forth, Some An Hundredfold, Some Sixty, Some Thirty.

The Lord Spread The Seed On All Types Of Ground, But Some Areas Did Not Have The Type Of Ground Needed To Receive It. The Way Side, Stoney, And Good Ground Are All Recipients Of The Seed, But Not All Received It Deep Enough To Grow. Another Being Snatched Away the Seed By The Way Side, Others Let The World Choke It Out. Do Not let Anyone Say Or Do Anything To Steal The Word Of God From You; grow In The Word. 

Always Read Your Bible For Yourself To Grow In Faith.

KEEP THE FAITH

KEEP THE FAITH 

they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Hebrews 3:14,19 

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 

[19] So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Hebrews 4:3-6 

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

Galatians 5:18-26 

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Jude 1:1-25 

Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.

IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT. 

Galatians 5:1-26 

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole Law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by The Law; ye are fallen from Grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the Hope of Righteousness by Faith. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; But Faith which worketh by love. Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of Him that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear His judgment, whosoever he be. And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the offence of the cross ceased. I would they were even cut off which trouble you. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all The Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under The Law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit The Kingdom Of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Galatians 3:8-14 

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through Faith, preached before The Gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be Blessed. So then they which be of Faith are Blessed with Faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of The Law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in The Book Of The Law to do them. But that no man is justified by The Law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by Faith. And The Law is not of Faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of The Law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the Blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive The Promise Of The Spirit Through Faith.

Romans 8:9-17 

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is Life because of Righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons Of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are The Children Of God: And if Children, then Heirs; Heirs Of God, and Joint-Heirs With Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also Glorified together.

Romans 6:1-23 

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that Grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were Baptized into Jesus Christ were Baptized into His death? Therefore we are buried with Him by Baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the Glory Of The Father, even so we also should walk in newness of Life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His Resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also Live with Him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him. For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He Liveth, He Liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but Alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are Alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of Righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under The Law, but under Grace. What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under The Law, but under Grace? God 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? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of Doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of Righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: For as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to Righteousness unto Holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from Righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your Fruit unto Holiness, and the end Everlasting Life. For the wages of sin is death; But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Our body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit Is Life. 

IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.
