Balance of Grace and the Law

VIEW:620 DATA:2020-03-20

When we read the text in Gal 5: 4 , we see " you who are justified by the law ", what is it to justify by the law? By determining that by complying with the law, we can be saved. We see in the text, "it is by works that man is justified ", so are we justified by works or by faith? No one is justified by faith alone, nor is he justified only by works. For if we were justified only by faith, the text Tia 2:24 would be wrong, and without any proof that the text Tia 2:24 is adulteration we cannot determine that it is wrong. But the  text in Tia 2:24 determines " and not only by faith " Aunt 2:24 . " faith without works is dead " Tia 2:26  for " faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself ".

When someone is justified by the law, he is falling from grace because he does not need Christ, but everyone who has no works, his faith is dead in himself.

Christ gave himself to a people, and this chosen people is determined to be " zealous for good works " Titus 2:14 . It is no use talking about God because "they claim to know God, but by their works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and reprobate for every good work. " Tit 1:16 , so it is correct "it is by works that man is justified, and not just by faith " Tia 2:24 . But even works must be linked to grace, so that man cannot be justified by works, but " man is justified, and not only by faith ". In other words, it is not justified, but it is justified both by works and by faith.

Now, what is " justified by the law ", see that any law does not justify, it serves to show sin. Right when you are " zealous for good works " Titus 2:14 you do not need a law, because the law serves to show sin. So the man who does not kill, does not need to know the " law you will not kill ", because it does not condemn him. Therefore "it is by works that man is justified " Titia 2:24 , and thus " zealous for good works " Titus 2:14 . For example, remember the story in Mat 25: 31-46.

All two groups believed in Jesus, but what set one group apart from the other? Now one was " zealous for good works " Titus 2:14 , and the other was not. Therefore, we have again "it is by works that man is justified, and not only by faith " Tia 2:24 . But works are not the law, the law shows that works cannot be done. For example, the Law says: " Thou shalt not kill ", therefore he who kills is doing " works were evil " John 3: 19-21 , and anyone who violates the law of the commandments, is determining that his " works were evil " John 3 : 19-21 . Therefore, the law does not justify, but it shows sin, and he who remains in breaking the law " does not come into the light, lest his works be reproved " John 3: 19-21 . Therefore, sin is in the classification of bad works. And " Everyone who commits sin violates the law " I John 3: 4 , so the works of the law are to show sin, and good works are to not practice sin.

1. Gal 5: 4 You are separated from Christ, you who are justified by the law; of grace you have fallen.

2. Aunt 2:24 You see then that it is by works that man is justified, and not only by faith.

3. Aunt 2:17 So also faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

4. Aunt 2:26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

5. Tit 2:14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify for himself a people all his own, zealous for good works.

6. Tit 1:16 They claim that they know God, but by their works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and reprobate for every good work.

7. Col 3:17 And whatever you do by word or by deed, do it in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father for him.

8. Gal 5: 4 You have become detached from Christ, you who seek to justify yourselves by law; of grace you have fallen

9. Mat 25:31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory;

Mat 25:32 and before him all nations will be gathered together; and he will separate one from the other, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;

Mat 25:33 and he will put the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.

Mat 25:34 Then the King will say to those on his right: Come, blessed of my Father. The kingdom that has been prepared for you since the foundation of the world will have an inheritance;

Mat 25:35 because I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;

Mat 25:36 I was naked, and you clothed me; I got sick, and you visited me; I was in prison and you went to see me.

Mat 25:37 Then the righteous will ask him, Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? or thirsty, and we gave you a drink?

Mat 25:38 When did we see you as a stranger, and welcome you? or naked, and do we dress you?

Mat 25:39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and visit you?

Mat 25:40 And the King will answer them, Verily, I say to you, whenever you did it to one of these my brothers, even the smallest ones, you did it to me.

Mat 25:41 Then he will also say to those on his left: Depart from me, cursed, into the eternal fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels;

Mat 25:42 because I was hungry, and you gave me no food; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;

Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and you did not welcome me; I was naked, and you did not dress me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me.

Mat 25:44 Then also they will ask, Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did we not serve you?

Mat 25:45 And he will answer them, Truly, I say to you, whenever you stopped doing it to one of these little ones, you stopped doing it to me.

Mat 25:46 And they will go to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.

10. Joh 3:19 And the judgment is this: Light came into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their works were evil.

Joh 3:20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come into the light, lest his works be reproved.

Joh 3:21 But he who practices the truth comes into the light, that it may be manifest that his works are done in God.

11. 1Jn 3: 4 Anyone who practices sin also breaks the law, because sin is the breaking of the law.

12. 1Jn 3: 4 Everyone who commits sin breaks the law; indeed; indeed, sin is breaking the law.
