The New and Living Way:
This message was written in response to these words from a person being trained by a Messianic Temple:Yeshua did not proclaim any other/new way of salvation, not Christianity"
The foolishness of this statement is immediately apparent to real Christians, but it seems to be held in high esteem by the messianic crowd.
Righteousness by faith and not by the works of the law)
Gal.3
1.Of foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that you should not obey the
truth....2...Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of
faith?
Gal.2
21.I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then
Christ is dead in vain.
Rom.10
4.For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
....
17.So then faith cometh by hearing(believing), and hearing by the word of God.

(In Christ, we are justified by faith without the deeds of the law)
Rom. 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.
21: But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being
witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22: 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:
.........
27: Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law
of faith.
28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of
the law.

(The righteouness of Abraham was by faith and not by the works of the law)
Rom.4
2: For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before
God.
3: For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto
him for righteousness.
4: Now to him that worketh 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.
6: Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth
righteousnesswithout works,

Rom.6
14. For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under
Grace.
--------
Rom. 8
9.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. |
