Men are “justified by faith” and kept “by faith.”
“Justified by faith”
“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the deeds of the law.” Romans 3:28
“Kept by faith”
“Who are KEPT by the power of God THROUGH FAITH unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” 1 Peter 1:5
Justified by faith but sanctified by law keeping????
NOT. “The just (those justified by God) shall live by faith.”
Born again New Testament disciples are saved by grace through faith. They are saved, justified, and sanctified by faith. They live by faith and not by law or law keeping. See Hebrews 11:6.
“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith (not law to law): as it is written, The just shall live by faith (not law keeping).” Romans 1:17
“But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live BY FAITH.” Galatians 3:11
“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back (go back to law keeping), my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:38
Torah Keeping Antichrists
IF you tout “Keep Torah” you are a lost soul and heretic who isn’t known by the ONE who came in the volume of the book in which HE is featured as the Grand Subject from Genesis to Revelation! Repent now sinner! Those known of the Messiah have repented, admitted their own utter guilt, believed upon Jesus, and KEEP HIM – as “first love.” (Revelation 2:4-5)
Better scrap your futile attempt to keep torah perfectly and get JESUS – who is the ONLY ONE who kept torah! THEN He nailed it to the cross and took it out of the way!!! (Colossians 2:14-19)
YES the whole 66 book canon of the Bible is for us and yet, IT reveals that a NEW covenant superseded the Old one. The book of Hebrews reveals to us that a “BETTER covenant” with “BETTER promises” made the old covenant obsolete “for righteousness.” (Hebrews 7:22; 8:6; Romans 10:4) The faith of the NEWWWW Testament saint, saved by grace, is not set upon trying to keep the law (“keeping Torah”) but rather set upon the only ONE to ever keep the law perfectly – then He. Christ, nailed it to the cross and “took it out of the way.” (Colossians 2:14-19) It’s over so repent and get over it, now! The infinitely inferior old was a mere shadow of the infinitely superior NEW Testament that was to come and HAS come with Christ! (Hebrews 10:1) Beware of the demonic judaizing devils in our midst. They are snakes!
If you can read the following verse and still think you are going to be right with God by law-keeping or that you even can keep it perfectly, you are completely deranged, deceived, delusional, and hell bound.
“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 2:16
Anyone who gets saved and then doesn’t drill down into the doctrinal letters and epistles and get grounded in grace through faith justification and living, will be susceptible to being deceived by the antichrist judaizers in our midst. It will cost many of them their eternal souls. There will be not 1 law-keeping judaizing snake in Heaven. If you don’t know that, you are biblically illiterate. Romans. Galatians. Ephesians. Philippians. Colossians. Hebrews.
“It IS Finished”
The Ultimate sacrifice has already been made – “It is finished” or paid in full! (John 19:30)
“But now, AFTER that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. … Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.” Galatians 4:9-11; 5:4
God’s people are “justified by faith” in Jesus, not law (Romans 5:1, etc.). The problem is not with the types and shadows given us in Scripture of the Messiah who was to come. No, the issue here is with those who would bring you back under the law.
—-ARE NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS supposed to be focusing on keeping the Old Law, the Ten Commandments? NO! Jesus is the only ONE who ever kept the Law perfectly and because of who He is and what He did (sinless), He went to the cross and nailed that old law to it and “TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY.” (Colossians 2:14-19). Ever heard that CB saying “10-4 good buddy”? Well Romans 10:4 tells us “For Christ is THE END (it’s over!) of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” The old law was replaced by an infinitely greater covenant by Christ’s blood. the old law is obsolete “for righteousness.” (Romans 10:4) The Law reveals and uncovers and magnifies just how wicked and sinful we are (Romans 7). It brings us to CHRIST who is the only Salvation (Galatians 3:24).
“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:14-19
— Jesus took the law out of our way so we could love and worship God with all of our hearts, minds, and strength in the Spirit (John 4:23-24; Galatians 3:1-3; Colossians 2:14-19).
“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” Galatians 2:21
Why did Jesus come? Why would the Father have sent His only begotten Son of there was not a great need? The great need was to redeem fallen mankind and the old law had only been put in place as a tutor or “schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ.”
“Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” Galatians 3:24
Once you are brought to CHRIST via the conviction of the law, realizing you have broken it and cannot possibly keep it all, you “rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.”
“Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.” 1 Peter 1:8
—– The NEW Testament actually tells us to study the Old Testament Scriptures but that doesn’t mean God contradicted Himself to say we are still under the old law for righteousness. Blasphemy! The New Testament Scriptures tell us to read the Old Testament Scriptures but not for righteousness. No. Christ HAS COME and died and was raised again from the dead and He is “THE END of the law FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to ever one that believeth.” (Romans 10:4) Any questions?
ANY PERSON who teaches that blood-bought NEW Testament saints, saved by grace through faith, are under the law of Moses is an antichrist! Run!
In the Old Testament Scriptures we receive “learning” and admonishing and receive hope and comfort (Romans 15:4; 1 Corinthians 10:6, 11). We are not to deny Christ by attempting to go back under the obsolete old law which He already came and died to put away – to do away with for righteousness. What do we learn in Romans 10:4 good buddy?
“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Romans 10:4
We need to get over it. The old covenant was only in place to lead us to Christ and to remain in it is like the wife whose husband is in the military and returns home from war. She prepares a separate bedroom for him while he is away and when he finally arrives back home, she tells him she’s going to continue to sleep with his picture and she wants him to now sleep in the extra bedroom she’s prepared for him. Yes let’s laugh together at that ludicrous notion. Absurdity. Well, that’s what the Judaizing devils are doing – they are sleeping with the mere pictures, types, and shadows we received of Jesus under the infinitely inferior old covenant instead of repenting and putting their faith in the Messiah who HAS COME and accomplished full and complete, perfect redemption for us.
The message the whole Bible, beginning with the Old Testament Scriptures, have always been about and to point us to the LORD Himself. His name is Jesus. You see, the Old Testament before Christ was born into the earth as a man to fulfill what the Old Covenant merely gave as shadows and illustrations – while Jesus Christ was pre-incarnate. In other words, before He actually came in the flesh – “Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” Galatians 4:3-6
Those under the Old Covenant were in an infinitely inferior covenant than the New. Jesus came and ratified the New Testament in His own blood (Matthew 26:28). God wants us to read His Word and get a slight clue here. Beginning with Galatians will be a good place to begin. Yet, if the individual refuses to actually turn their heart to the LORD in repentance, a blinding veil will still remain over their understanding (2 Corinthians 3:16-18).

The Only Way Up is Down [podcast]
Chapter 8 from the book Raised Up (narration)
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18
The Down and Up Principle of God’s Kingdom
“And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root DOWNWARD, and bear fruit UPWARD.” Isaiah 37:31
The Scriptures follow a pattern of death and resurrection, a downward death and upward life. See if you can observe such a truth in the following verses:
“The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth UP all those that be bowed DOWN.” Psalms 145:14
Do you possess the blessed desire to be raised up by the Almighty? According to His divine wisdom given us in His precious Precepts, in order to be “raised up” we must first be “bowed down.” The LORD will not raise up any person who is still alive in his own power – He only raises up “those that be bowed down” in sincere humility before His majesty (Ps. 145:14; Jn. 12:23-25; Rom. 8:11).
“Those that be bowed down” will “take root downward” and be raised up in blessed fruitfulness (Isa. 37:31).
In order to “bear fruit upward,” one must first be planted in the house (kingdom) of the LORD and “take root downward” in the rich soil of His truth. The resurrection life of Jesus and ample fruitfulness will be the result.
Going deeper in God necessitates going down deeper into death and burial with Christ! Read Romans 6. There are no shortcuts (Galatians 5:24). Christ’s kingdom is a cross economy – one of utter humility and death to self that He might reign (John 12:23-25; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3, etc.).
“And whosoever shall exalt himself (upward) shall be abased (humbled); and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.” Matthew 23:12
“He must INCREASE, but I must DECREASE.” John 3:30
“And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat FALL INTO THE GROUND (downward) and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit (upward). He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life (downward) in this world shall keep it unto life eternal (upward).” John 12:23-25
“Humble yourselves (downward heart posture) in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:10
The life of Christ will raise a man upward and this is after that man bows down his life or humbles himself under the mighty hand of God – first at initial salvation then in the consecrated life that brings God glory. Blessed resurrection life is the upward result of the life planted downward and this is the place from which ministry springs. Look at what the apostle Paul wrote in this regard:
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
Jesus declared to us that He came to make captives free from sin and Satan – “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (Lk. 4:18; Jn. 8:31-32, 36).There is chain-shattering, freeing power (liberty) in the redeeming blood of Christ and by the power of the Holy Ghost (Lk. 4:18; Jn. 8:36; Acts 26:18; Col. 1:12-14; 1 Pet. 1:18-19; Rev. 12:11). The divine promise is that when one bows down before the LORD, every yoke shall be broken by Him who is above all (Isa. 58). No stronghold or bond of Satan has power when Christ’s blood is applied in sincere repentance and by the power of the Holy Ghost! The saint who is raised up after being bowed down, will glorify God in rich fruitfulness being “changed into the same image (Christ’s) from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 3:17-18
It is the divine Person of the Holy Ghost who raised up the LORD who was bowed down before His Father in death in order to purchase His Church with His own sinless blood (Acts 20:28). In like manner, it is the Holy Spirit with His resurrection power who raises up those who be bowed down before His throne of grace.
“And he (Jesus) was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God… And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.” Luke 13:10-13, 16-17
There can be no resurrection until there is first a death. A seed is dead or dormant then is planted and then germinates and brings forth bud, then a stalk and ultimately fruit – but first it must be buried downward in order to bear life-giving fruit upward. The life buried with Christ will be lifted up by divine power and bear much fruit to God’s glory (Jn. 15:8).
“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 (make alive upward) your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Romans 8:11
Our LORD had to first die and be buried “downward” in order to be raised “upward” by the Father in resurrection life to raise up and justify all those who would call upon Him in repentance (Rom. 1:4; 8:11; 10:13). In order for fruit to be borne “upward,” the disciple must first be planted “downward” in “the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death” (Isa. 37:31; Phil. 3:10).
“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.” Romans 6:3-5
“Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.” Colossians 2:12
He created man with a choice (Josh. 24:15). In the end there will be “the resurrection of life” and also “the resurrection of damnation” (Jn. 5:28-29). Each of us will be in one of these resurrections – either everlasting life or eternal death (conscience separation from God in hell). The entrance into Heaven or termination into hell will hinge upon whom we served – God or self (Rom. 6:16).
Real promotion comes only from the Giver and Sustainer of all life – from the north (Heaven).
“For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.” Psalms 75:6-7
That person who freely chooses to believe God, taking Christ at His Word, bowing under His infinite Majestic glory, will be raised up both now and forever and eternally glorified with the Alpha and Omega (Phil. 2:5-11; 2 Thess. 2:13-14).
“The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing.” Psalms 92:12-14
PRAYER: Please draw me deeper into You LORD Jesus. Father in Heaven, You sent Your only begotten Son to die for me in order that I might be raised up in new life in this brief life and eternally. I love You Jesus and ask You to lead me to that crucified life that you lived when here on earth and as You gave Your life blood on the cross to save Your people. Please quicken me by Your Holy Spirit and fill me afresh O LORD, that this life You gave might be fully one with You and fruitful and pleasing to Thee. Lord, I am watching and praying in light of Your soon return. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Sick and antisemitic. Jesus said his teachings were not his own so whose were they? They were Father Gods teachings given to Moses. Rev 22 says here are the saints who have faith in Jesus AND keep the commandments of God.

NO amount of keeping the commandments will save you. You are a sinner, fully guilty in the eyes of the Almighty.
” For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10
ALL of your righteousnesses are “as filthy rags” in the eyes of a holy God (Isaiah 64:6).
Do you claim to be born again? Turning people back under the law is antichrist. Read Galatians. But first, “Ye must be born again” says Jesus (John 3:3, 7).
“For Christ is THE END of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Romans 10:4
“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 2:16

TORAH KEEPING DEVILS BLASTED – REPENT NOW.
“If you live under the law you live in religion and it’s all about self. You will strive to make yourself better. Those of us who are saved by the blood of Christ live under grace. We strive to be more like Jesus. As we daily lay down our lives at the cross and follow Christ.” Karen Cochran
Those who pretend in futility to make self better have never repented and are not born again. Law-keepers, Torah keepers are delusional and self-righteous, filled with pride. Hell bound. They are antichrists who say “I don’t need Jesus or His perfect sacrifice! I can do this myself!” They are fools and under the spirit of witchcraft (Galatians 2:21; 3:1-3).
