Torah Keepers vs New Testament Saints Saved by Grace

“But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.” Galatians 5:15

The nastiest emails received by this ministry is not from rebuked calvinists or eternal security heretics, or those who argue to defend fake “bibles”, but rather from those who trust their own supposed law-keeping ability instead of Christ. Are you surprised? Not after reading what Paul said about the judaizers:

“For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:” Titus 1:10

Have you kept the whole law perfectly from birth? No.

“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10

If you’ve ever lied, one time, you are a guilty sinner. The same goes for using God’s name in vain, lusting (adultery), stealing, coveting, not honoring your parents, etc. Friend, if you have so much as just one time sinned, in the whole span of your life, you are fully guilty of breaking the whole of God’s law and are under His divine condemnation. And, no attempt at keeping the whole law perfectly, will not remit your sins or bring divine justification. The penalty for your sin is divine condemnation, eternal hell (Romans 6:23).

“For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” Ecclesiastes 7:20

Are you willing to just be honest and admit it? Admit you are a sinner in need of God’s saving mercy? OR, will you pridefully plunge forward without Christ?

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:5-7

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9

“Without FAITH” and not “without law” … “it is impossible to please him.” (Hebrews 11:6)

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

“The just” simply refers to those who are justified in the eyes of God. The just live BY FAITH and not law-keeping.

“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

Law keepers say to God “I’ve go this. I don’t need You.”

Justified children of God say: “I am a sinner. Please save me dear LORD Jesus! I fall undeservingly flat upon Your precious mercy at the foot of the cross where You shed Your precious blood for me LORD Jesus! Be merciful to me LORD, a sinner.”

That often quoted verse that contains the phrase, “bite and devour one another”, by no accident is strategically placed in the book of Galatians. Those words appear no where else in God’s Word. Think about it: Law vs grace is the grand topic of this all-important book of Galatians where judaizers had brought God’s grace-saved people back under the law. They fell from saving grace (Galatians 5:4). Paul said that these vile, Hebrew Roots judaizers were operating in witchcraft (Galatians 3:1-3).

Here’s why I personally conclude that all Hebrew Roots groups and false leaders seek to bring people back under the death, the bondage of law-keeping:

“And that because of false brethren (judaizers) unawares brought in, who came in privily (stealthily) to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage (bring us back under law): 5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.” Galatians 2:4-5

Concerning false teachers, namely judaizers, the LORD’s apostle Paul says he would that these vile devils were “cut off” (Galatians 5:12). This is extremely violent language.

IF someone is in the process of breaking into your home, how long will you take to take action? Immediately, right?

Christ’s apostle Paul gave no place, had zero patience when dealing with the deadly, spiritual assassins, we know as judaizers.

Judaizers are agents of Satan himself – to remove believers out from under the saving grace of Christ and bring them back under law-keeping. They begin with insidious subtilty by teaching about the Jewish feasts, the mere types and shadows, and perhaps teaching that the Saturday sabbath is important. Beware.

2 Corinthians 3 and Hebrews 8-10 contrast the infinitely superior NEW Covenant with the old covenant it replaced, superseded. Amazing! Now check out John 1:17. Moses = OLD. Jesus Christ = NEW!

Law doesn’t hearken to nor facilitate the saving grace of God which is only appropriated by faith in Christ.

“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

Why can no one, no person be justified by the law? – Because we’ve all broken the law.

No one ever has nor ever will merit divine righteousness. No one earns his own way to Heaven. Only Jesus did that!

Law keeping doesn’t appropriate the grace of His life, producing the fruit of the Spirit, beginning with His love (Galatians 5:22-23). Law-keeping instead of faith in the finished work of the only One who ever kept the law, and His perfect sacrifice is antichrist and always frustrates and blocks saving divine grace (2:21). In fact, there’s perhaps no greater affront, insult to the God who “So loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son” for the sins of the whole world (John 3:16).

There is no righteousness found in law-keeping – it’s only found in Christ Himself.

“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Romans 10:4

Yes Jesus says “If ye love me keep my commandments” but Jesus never told NEW Testament believers to keep the law to be made righteous (John 15:14). Jesus told us to first and foremost believe on Him (justification) and to love Him with our whole hearts, mind, and strength (Matthew 22:37-39). Good works, obedience always flow from one who is truly born again – justified by the grace of God through faith.

Law vs Grace: Everyone Must Choose!

“Now to him that worketh (for righteousness by law-keeping) is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Romans 4:4-5

Those who trust their own ability to keep the law perfectly instead of trust Christ who uniquely kept the law perfectly, do not receive the “reward” of salvation, divine justification.

Those who surrender in repentance and by faith trust God as their Savior, instead of self, are saved!!!!

Torah keeping is self-righteous and foolish. Law-keeping is the epitome of telling the Almighty, “I’ve got this, I don’t need You!” vs “I’m dead in my trespasses and sins, 100% fully guilty and I’m letting go and letting God! I trust You fully dear LORD to wash me from my many sins in Your sinless precious blood, to save, forgive, do your work in, and use me!”

Hebrews chapter 8-10 contrast the utterly inferior Old Covenant with the infinitely superior NEW Covenant.

"BEWITCHED" - The Most Misunderstood Passage in the Bible RESOLVED [video]

“O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” Galatians 3:1-3 This passage of divine truth should arrest our hearts afresh to stop and breathe in the faith of God, trusting Him fully, wholly… resting in Him.

“It is Finished”!

“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” John 19:30　 What Exactly was “Finished” at the Cross? WHAT Did Jesus Fulfill? What Did Jesus Finish? What did the Son of God Accomplish by Dying for Our Sins on that Cross? Much Divine Truth is Locked Up in This On the cross Jesus declared “It is finished” but what is it that was “finished”?
