Using SafeGuardYourSoul as a Resource [podcast]

This week, while having a rich fellowship with a dear and growing brother in Christ, he asked me about the Hebrew Roots movement. We took a look at the passage most prominently used by modern judaizers to promulgate their wicked wares – Matthew 5:17-18. They use this passage to “prove” that born again, saved-by grace-through faith NEW Testament saints are still under the law of Moses, that they are accountable to keep the law in order to be saved. Brother Stephen and I read this passage and discussed how Jesus never said we have to keep the law to be righteous in this passage. Take a look:

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 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.” Matthew 5:17-18

In the above passage, did Jesus say, did the Son of God teach us that we must keep the whole law? No. After reading this we discussed Galatians 2:21, which states “I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” 

The following post was referenced as thoroughly addressing from Scripture this whole topic. | “BEWITCHED” – The Most Misunderstood Passage in the Bible RESOLVED

Brother Stephen said a friend of his was trying to get him to go to weekend feast of booths type celebration. I proceeded to give him Scripture on this and communicate to him that Christ has already come and died. Those shadows under the Old Covenant merely pointed to Jesus – and it’s all about Jesus, not the mere pictures of Him before He came. I then referred this brother to the Hebrews Roots or Judaizing Devils categories on this website and emailed to him one of the posts on this topic. He was hungry to find out what the Bible has to say about grave vs law keeping. Well, he got a motherlode of Bible truth on this matter. We read through a few passages of Scriptures, including Colossians 2:4-10 and he was warned that without fail, the Hebrew Roots judaizers ultimately seek to bring people back under the law. And that this is Satan’s attempt to draw saved-by-grace NEW Testament saints to fall from saving grace by ceasing to trust Christ’s perfect sacrifice and going back to attempting to keep the whole law. Brother Stephen and I also looked at Romans 3:28; James 2:10 and Galatians 5:18 concerning the truth that no man can keep the whole law perfectly and that only Christ did such and then nailed the law for righteousness to the cross and took it out of the way (Colossians 2:14-19). And, that if we’ve broken just one of the commandments of God then we are fully, 100% guilty before God of breaking His whole law (James 2:10). We discussed being faced with being under law or grace and that each of us must choose. There is no neutral ground – one either chooses to be under law or to be under the saving grace of God in Christ alone (John 1:17). Here are other verses we read in this conversation. | Hebrew Roots Judaizers Busted

“Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” Romans 3:28 

“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.” Romans 2:28-29

This is but one example of how this site is designed and built to be used by believers for their own personal study of God’s Word and also using it as a resource to help others learn of our LORD. Personally, as was the case above, I like to get into the Word when discussing any topic and then sending them home with resources to learn deeper on the topic(s) discussed.

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
