SALVATION IS THE FREE **GIFT OF GOD** NOT BY WORKS SO THAT NO ONE CAN BOAST!!

Ephesians 2:4-10: But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by Grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His GRACE, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by Grace you have been saved, through **FAITH**--and this is NOT from yourselves, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**--not by works; so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away...And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise them up at the Last Day!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED** them!!"
Ephesians 1:5-8: In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--to the praise of His **GLORIOUS GRACE**, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD**, the **FORGIVENESS OF SINS**, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding!

"Mark 7:18-23: Jesus says, "Are you so dull. Don't you see that nothing that enters a man can make him *UNCLEAN*? For it doesn't into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body. In saying this Jesus declared **ALL FOODS CLEAN**!" He then said: "What comes out of a man that makes him unclean. For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from **INSIDE** and make a man **UNCLEAN!!" {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}"
prophetic, many false prophets come to deceive many. Matthew 24:11. All you quote for the cleaning of food is from Paul's epistles, and for sure you wrest them to your own destruction because they are testified to be too hard for you to understand them which you keep showing is true for you. 2 Peter 3:16.
Mark 7 says different to your private interpretations.Your words say Jesus declared all foods clean. Jesus says..
Mark 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
Mark 7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
The question is to eat with dirty hands. Jesus shows when we eat, then all is released into the draught. He never spoke a single word about what we eat being clean or not. That is why not eating blood continues, because life is in the blood, not because it damages us. Matthew 15 confirms more, Jesus sums up, to eat with unwashen hands does not defile, us, as THAT IS WHAT HE WAS ASKED ABOUT.
Matthew 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
In the end times now, proud people come with questions and strifes of words, with perverse disputing, they suppose gain is goldliness, they speak about rewards, Jude 1:11, they show they know nothing and show they are destitute of the truth. They strive about the law, and just vanity.
1 Timothy 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
So the come along and teach the law is all gone away, but Jesus says opposite of course, He did not come to do away wit the law, He instead came to fulfill that same law. Until Heaven and earth pass, not one part fails of the law. In Revelation10 we see when the mystery of God should be finished, tat is only when all things are fulfilled, and then Heaven and earth pass and the LORD CREATES NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH WHEREIN DWELLETH RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Matthew 5:17 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.
Revelation 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Paul it is testified, spoke things disputers come using, and cannot understand what they are saying. Cursed if we do not continue in all the words of the law to do them. Christ became the curse for us. The law is still righteous. The Lord magnified His same law to make it honourable. Gods testimonies are everlasting, as is His righteousness, His righteous judgement endure forever. Nothing is testified opposite to this in scripture. All God does is forever, nothing can be taken away, and nothing can be put to it. What came at the time of Christ already was, the Spirit was given, the law was written in the heart.
Deuteronomy 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Deuteronomy 4:8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
Isaiah 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
Psalms 119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
Psalms 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
Ecclesiastes 3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
Isaiah 51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
The uncircumcision keeps the righteousness of the law, the law without the Spirit meant all commited sins and then received death. Followers of Christ walk in the Spirit, not the flesh as the first covenant, the law of righteousness is Christ.
Romans 2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that
believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
Leviticus 18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
Believing in our heart to righteousness Romans 10:10, confessing Christ as Lord, and departing from iniquity, 2 Timothy 2, iniquity is ungodliness, ungodliness is unrighteousness, all unrighteousness is sin..sin is the transgression of the LAW.
1 John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Proverbs 19:28 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
The real sacrifices of God. Never to stop. Our heart and spirit. These are the sacrifices of righteousness. Then we offer on His altar.
Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
It is important to recognise, the law of the Lord always was perfect. The law made nothing perfect, yet the law of the Lord is perfect. The law made nothing perfect, as it was weak through the flesh as told before. Now the law makes us perfect through faith in Christ and receiving of is Holy Spirit which is the law written in our heart and mind in righteousness. All endures forever and all gives light. We then continue in the same perfect law of liberty.
Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
Hebrews 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
We see the law of God in the heart of Christ. Christ after all came to do the will of God, and this is the law of God. The first covenant is taken away, and we continue with the same law and sacrifices, but now we offer ourselves as the sacrifices and the law is in righteousness in us.
Psalms 40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
1 Peter 2:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
If we break the law of God, now the Lord chastens us so we repent and keep the righteousness. The Lords judgements are the same, they last forever as testified.
Psalms 89:30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
When they come along to take away from the Lord law, this is the time the Lord affirms His law. All the precepts the Lord gave are right and wonderful, how can they be taken away..
Psalms 119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
The law of God is the truth, it did not become a lie just because an empty man claims it. The law is light, it is man that is darkness, the law is light and always will be, the commandments also are a lamp and do continue..
Psalms 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
Proverbs 6:20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
We are justified without the deeds of the law in faith to Christ. This is the establishing of the law. To have faith in Christ is to do all righteously, as that is what Christ did, all the righteousness of the law of God and being meek lowly and giving is life in love. The law always was good and holy, and was a shadow to show the full image coming, not a lesser law, or the law gone away, the law increased in every way, nobody can show a single tiny part to have been taken away, just as Jesus said.
Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
There is no more offering for sins, because it is done once for all through Christ. But believers still need Christ offering for sin of Himself, being the offering, propitiation for our sins. But if we sin wilfully, then we see the judgement under Moses,and our judgement is the same and much worse for despising grace...
1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
29 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
30 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

"WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!" GALATIANS 3:25
Hebrews 7:18,19: The former regulation is SET ASIDE because it was weak and useless; for the **LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT**, and a **BETTER HOPE** is introduced, by which we draw near to God.! {Adam disagrees with these inspired words of God!}
Hebrews 8:8,9,13: "The time is coming." says the Lord, "when I will make a **NEW COVENANT** with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah".... By calling this Covenant "NEW", He has made the first one OBSOLETE; and what is OBSOLETE and aging will **SOON DISAPPEAR**" {In AD 96??}{ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!}
NOTE: Hebrews was written about AD 65 and the last inspired book of the New Covenant or Revelation was inspired by God in AD 96 by which time all the other 26 books of the New Covenant were distributed among the churches.
Hebrews 8:6: But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which He is Mediator is SUPERIOR TO THE OLD ONE, and it is founded on better promises. {Adam disagrees with these inspired words of God!}
Galatians 6:15: Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, what counts is a **NEW CREATION**!
Galatians 5:6: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is **FAITH EXPRESSING ITSELF THROUGH LOVE**! {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!}
Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a **SABBATH DAY**. These are a *SHADOW* of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found in Christ!!!
Mark 7:18-23: Jesus says, "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him unclean? For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body!" By saying this Jesus declared **ALL FOODS CLEAN**!! He went on "What comes out of a man is what makes him unclean. For from within , out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man unclean!" {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God and tries to explain it away by saying it only has to do with unclean hands {???}which was mentioned earlier in Mark 7}
Galatians 2:14-16: Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and **NOT BY OBSERVING THE LAW**, because by observing the law no one will be justified.!" {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" [ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the **CURSE OF THE LAW** by becoming a curse for us! [ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!" {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}

Jesus never said the law would be destroyed.
Jesus said the opposite to ending the law, that no part fails until all is fulfilled.
Jesus said He came to fulfill the law.
Jesus did not leave it to evil mouths to say when this is.
Jesus shows the end of all, the signs for the ending of the world, how His words will never pass away, but the Heaven and earth will pass away.
Jesus said not one tiny part passes from the law, and for Heaven and earth to pass, it is easier.
All is fulfilled when the law is written in the heart of His sheep, when we are ready to be presented to the Lord, when all ends is when all is fulfilled.
Nothing says different to those testimonies, it is all man made words otherwise.
We heard it was said to hate our enemies, it was also said to help our enemy. Hating the enemy was because the enemy worshipped devils, and was the enemy of Gods righteousness. If it was personal hate, somebody you did not like, God commanded to help them, because the law of God was preparing for all right ways of Christ....
Psalms 139:21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Exodus 23:4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
5 If thou see the donkey of him that hateth thee lying under his BURDEN, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's BURDENS, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
God testified nothing can be put to His ways, it is what has already been. It is new because it has light shon on it now, how to love with the SPIRIT of love shed into our hearts....
Ecclesiastes 3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
15 That which hath been is now; and THAT WHICH IS TO BE HATH ALREADY BEEN; and God requireth that which is past.
2 John 1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, BUT THAT WHICH WE HAD FROM THE BEGINNING, that we love one another.
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
1 John 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
8 Again, A NEW COMMANDMENT I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: BECAUSE the darkness is past, and THE TRUE LIGHT NOW SHINETH.
Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Those in darkness consider this to be a new commandment. The commandment has always been told, now we can understand how God loves us. Continuing in the commandments of God, continuing in the love of God, giving our lives instead of keeping them..
John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
John 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
The last times the mockers come along, they have no fear of God, as the fear of God and the law is not written in their heart, they cast off the law of God. They cannot continue in the love of God, because the love of God was already in His righteous laws.
Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Jude 1:18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jeremiah 32:40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

"WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!" GALATIANS 3:25
Understanding Matthew 5:17,18 is very complex;. since it seems to imply that all the Laws of Moses and the OT Prophets will be in effect until heaven and earth pass away. Whereas there are dozens of places in the NT which clearly say that the NT saints are no longer under all the {613) Laws of Moses.
Almost all conservative NT theologians agree that the first coming of Jesus fulfilled about 300 OT prophecies and that Jesus will **FULFILL** about 50 OT prophecies during the 1260-day Great Tribulation followed by His 2nd coming when heaven and earth will pass away. These are mainly found in the OT book of Daniel 'who was one of the OT prophets of Matthew 5:17.
One of these 613 commands of Moses is found in Deuteronomy 18:17-19: The Lord said to Moses, "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among your brothers. I will put My words in His mouth, and He will tell them everything I command Him. If anyone does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My name, I Myself will call him to account!!"
In the NT in John 14:,23,24 Jesus says, "If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not My own, they belong to the Father who sent Me!" {You will note that the OT teaching is not even mentioned here!!}
According to the OT Prophets in Isaiah 65:17 and Isaiah 66:22 {See also Daniel 7:27 & Daniel 12:2,3 & Daniel 2:44} God promised a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW EARTH and the OT saints were looking forward to this according to Hebrew 11:13-16. And the NT saints were also looking forward to this according to Revelation 21:1-5 and 2 Peter 3:10-13.
2 Peter 3:10-13: But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. the heavens will **DIISAPPEAR** with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire and the earth and everything in it will be burned up.. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise {In Isaiah 65:17 and Isaiah 66:22} we are looking forward to a **NEW HEAVEN** and a **NEW EARTH**, the home of righteousness!!
And so all of the OT prophecies will not be **FULFILLED**until we get a **NEW HEAVENS** and **NEW EARTH**!!
Matthew 5:17,18: Jesus says, " Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the **PROPHETS**. I have not come to abolish them {The Law & the PROPHETS}but to **FULFILL THEM**! I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke, will by any means disappear from the Law :{and the Prophets} **UNTIL EVERYTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED!!"
Jesus prophesied that the Jewish Temple would be completely destroyed which took place in AD 70. About 200 of the 613 OT laws were then eliminated concerning the priests and temple ornaments, procedures and sacrifices. Actually Jesus **FULFILLED** and **ACCOMPLISHED** and put and end to all meaningful temple sacrifices for sin by the sacrifice of Himself in AD 33.
Hebrews 10:11-18: Day after day every priest performs his religious duties again and again he offers the same sacrifices {According to the laws of Moses}, which can never take away sins. But when this Priest had offered for all time **ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS**, He sat down at the right hand of God... Because by **ONE SACRIFICE** He has made ***PERFECT FOREVER*** those who are being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time says the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." The he adds" Their sins and lawless acts I will remember **NO MORE**." And when these have been forgiven, there is **NO LONGER ANY SACRIFICE FOR SIN**
Before quoting Matthew 5:19,20 it should be noted that the Prophet God had promised in Deuteronomy 18:17-19 must be obeyed in everything Jesus had already made about 10 new commandments in Matthew 5:1-16 and was about to make many new commandments in the sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:21 to Matthew 7:27!!
For example: Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you **BECAUSE OF ME**. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in Heaven!!"
Matthew 5:19.20: Jesus says, "Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments {In Matthew 5:1-16 and Matthew 5:21 to Matthew 7:27} and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the **TEACHERS OF THE LAW**{Like ADAM7777}, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven!!"
I John 2:3-5: We know that we have come to know Him **IF WE OBEY HIS COMMANDS**. The man who says, "I know Him," but does not do what **HE COMMANDS** is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone **OBEYS HIS WORD**, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in Him!! {You will note that the OT commands are not even mentioned here!!}
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED** you!!" {Again note that the OT commands are not even mentioned here!!}
John 14:21: Whoever has **MY COMMANDS AND OBEYS THEM**, he is the one who loves Me! He who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I too will love him and show Myself to him.!!" {Again note that the OT commands are not even mentioned here!!}
Romans 3:22-25,27,28: This righteousness from God comes through **FAITH** in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God promised Him as a sacrifice of atonement , through **FAITH** in His blood!!....Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded . On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but that of **FAITH**! For we maintain that a man is justified by **FAITH** APART FROM OBSERVING THE LAW!
Galatians 2:14-16: Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED!!"
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly NO ONE IS JUSTIFIED BEFORE GOD BY THE LAW, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
Hebrews 7:18,19: The former regulation is set aside because it was **WEAK AND USELESS**. For the law made nothing perfect, and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God!!
Hebrews 8:8,9,13: For if there had been nothing wrong with the first covenant, no place would have been sought for another But God found fault with the people and said, "The time is coming, declares the Lord. when I will make a **NEW COVENANT** with the house of Israel... By calling this covenant 'NEW', He has made the first one **OBSOLETE; and what is **OBSOLETE** and aging will soon **DISAPPEAR!!
SALVATION IS THE FREE **GIFT OF GOD** NOT BY WORKS SO THAT NO ONE CAN BOAST!!

Prophetic notes:
"There are 613 commandments or laws of Moses. About 50 of the laws are about sacrificing thousands of animals on the temple altar for the forgiveness of sins since without the shedding of blood there can be no forgiveness of sins. When Jesus was sacrificed for the forgiveness of sins these OT laws for the sacrificing of thousands of animals was **FULFILLED** and **THEN** these sacrificial laws of Moses were completely eliminated!!"
Sacrificing animals was eliminated. It was replaced by the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. Christ continues to be the Lamb of God, on His throne in Heaven. Revelation 22:1. We also are sacrifices to God, tried by fire. Every sacrifice shall be salted with salt, we need to have good seasoning with each other. Christ the sweet smelling offering to God, and our offerings a sweet smelling sacrifice too. Christ is our advocate to be propitiation for sins. His sacrifice is continuing, He offered Himself once and for all for sins, and in Revelation we see Him still as the Lamb that is Slain. We continue to show the Lords body and blood, because is blood is still there to drink and is body there to still be eaten. The body of Christ is a living sacrifice, even our body is a living sacrifice too..
1 Corinthians 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Mark 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
40 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Philippians 4:18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Revelation 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
John 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
prophetics opinion..
"Paul did approve of 4 unbelieving Jews to take a **VOW** in Acts 21:23 but this took place **BEFORE** The book of Matthew was written about AD 65 where Jesus condemned taking vows in the NT Covenant as per Matthew 5:33-37: "
Paul also taught us the same about the body and blood of the Lord, how the blood we drink brings us damnation if we are unworthy, because this blood is a living sacrifice, the blood continues to be available, unlike other sacrifices of animals that disappear. Prophetic sees as men see, that Paul must not know what he is talking about until the Gospels are written in 65 ad, but Paul taught all that was in the gospel before 65 ad. This confirms that Paul is correct that he did not receive the gospel after men, and never received it from any men, and Christ revealed all to him. Exactly as Christ said all would be brought to remembrance by the Holy Ghost, teaching Paul all things Christ spoke to the Apostles. 1 Corinthians 15:3-10. Paul records how believing Jews did vows, and Paul had a vow too. It gives clear understanding how vows are simple vows, to let it be a simple es vow,not a swearing vow...
1 Corinthians 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Acts 18:18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
Acts 21:20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
Ecclesiastes 5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Matthew 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Circumcision again, yes it was finished. But so was the first covenant. He established the new. The new is all these laws in our heart. The new is circumcision not in the letter for the praise of men any longer, the new is circumcision of the heart, in the Spirit, whose praise is of God only. We are the circumcision, so therefore how can circumcision be finished ?
Hebrews 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Romans 2:29 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.
Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
Recompensing evil for evil, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, life for life. The Lord will repay,
and the Lord confirms our way to help the repayment, feed your enemy, and the Lord can repay all the evil everybody does, because of the good we did to them...
Proverbs 25:21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
We heard to love your neigbour and to hate thine enemy. The enemies of Israel were all the surrounding nations that worshipped devils. As the law was given only to Israel to worship the Lord. To fulfill the Law of Christ is to bear the burdens of others. The Lord already showed that way in the law, and Christ established it with the Holy Spirit, and now we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Philippians 4:13.....
Deuteronomy 4:8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Exodus 23:4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, thou shalt surely bring it 5
If thou see the donkey of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
Rewards sound great, but there are no rewards, there is no new law, it is the magnified law. The goods we have here are not enduring. The goods we receive in Heaven are enduring, are everlasting, and that is the difference, replaced by life from death. The law was weak, it had to be changed. The change came about by the Spirit, and the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us, not one jot or tittle fails from the law, until all is fulfilled in us, until the Lord receives the latter rain. James 5:7...
Hebrews 10:34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For example: Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you **BECAUSE OF ME**. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in Heaven!!"
His example of a new commandment? BECAUSE OF ME, people insult you and persecute you and speak all evil againt you. But it was altready done this exact same way of course. Jeremiah spoke for the Lord, and he was reproached, and derided daily. The prophets all spoke in the mname of the Lord, the same Lord Jesus Christ as there is one Lord, they are an EXAMPLE, of suffering affliction for the sake of the Lord..
Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Jeremiah 20:8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
James 5:10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Prophetic writes:
Almost all conservative NT theologians agree that the first coming of Jesus fulfilled about 300 OT prophecies and that Jesus will **FULFILL** about 50 OT prophecies during the 1260-day Great Tribulation followed by His 2nd coming when heaven and earth will pass away. These are mainly found in the OT book of Daniel 'who was one of the OT prophets of Matthew 5:17.
The Lord has made us into a priesthood since 2000 years ago. Christ loved us and washed us in His blood, and made us Kings and priests unto God. Revelation 20:6 says there is no power of death, death already has no power, the sting of death is sin, and it's strength is the law, and Christ gave us the victory already. When we keep the saying of Christ, we never see death. A thousand years is one day with the Lord when passed. We reign with the Lord in life, we are redeemed to God and we reign on earth, not for a thousand years, but forever. GTe Lord does not reign for a thousand years, that is mans understanding and vain. The Lord we see confirmed everwhere, reigns over them in mount Zion forever. The one day is judgement day, life is given to us, we reign with Him in life forever...
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
John 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
1 Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Micah 4:7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
Psalms 146:10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
Luke 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

WE ARE LOKING FORWARD TO A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH AND THE HEAVENLY NEW JERUSALEM!!
According to the OT Prophets in Isaiah 65:17 and Isaiah 66:22 {See also Daniel 7:27 & Daniel 12:2,3 & Daniel 2:44} God promised a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW EARTH and the OT saints were looking forward to this according to Hebrew 11:13-16. And the NT saints were also looking forward to this according to Revelation 21:1-5 and 2 Peter 3:10-13.
2 Peter 3:10-13: But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. the heavens will **DIISAPPEAR** with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire and the earth and everything in it will be burned up.. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise {In Isaiah 65:17 and Isaiah 66:22} we are looking forward to a **NEW HEAVEN** and a **NEW EARTH**, the home of righteousness!!
Revelation 21:1-3,5: Then I saw a **NEW HEAVEN** and a **NEW EARTH**, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea. I saw the Holy City, the **NEW JERUSALEM**, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a **BRIDE** beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men and He will live with them....He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new! Then He said , "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true!!
Revelation 22:16,18,19: "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches...I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book. If anyone adds anything to them. God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY** {Like ADAM7777} from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the Holy City {The New Jerusalem with its New Heaven and New Earth}, which are described in this book!"
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be **JUSTIFIED BY FAITH**. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW**!!"
Galatians 5:6: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is **FAITH** expressing itself through love
Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a **SABBATH DAY**. These are a **SHADOW** of the things that were to come; the reality, however is found **IN CHRIST**!!

GOD'S BORN AGAIN FROM ABOVE SAINTS ARE **WASHED**, **SANCTIFIED** AND **JUSTIFIED**!!
I Corinthians 6:9-11: Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God. Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you **WERE**. But you were **WASHED**, you were **SANCTIFIED**, you were **JUSTIFED** in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God!!
CAN GOD'S BORN AGAIN FROM ABOVE WHO ARE **WASHED**, **SANCTIFIED** AND **JUSTIFIED** LOSE THEIR SALVATION??
John 6:37,39,44: Jesus says, "**ALL** that the Father gives Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away... And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day.... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me **DRAWS HIM**, and I will raise him up at the Last Day!!"
DO GOD'S BORN AGAIN FROM ABOVE SAINTS STILL SIN AFTER THEY ARE SAVED??
I John1:8-10: If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His Word has no place in our lives!!
Luke 10:2-4: Jesus said to His disciples, "When you pray, say: '*Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our **DAILY** bread. **FORGIVE US OUR SINS**, for we forgive everyone who sins against us!!'"
CAN GOD'S BORN AGAIN FROM ABOVE SAINTS LOSE MANY HEAVENLY ETERNAL REWARDS IF THEY FAIL TO ASK FORGIVENESS FROM THEIR DAILY SINS; AND FAIL TO FAITHFULLY USE THE GIFTS GOD HAS GIVEN TO THEM??
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, �The Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels and THEN He will **REWARD** each person according to what he has done!�
2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... for we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive **WHAT IS DUE HIM** for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
1 Corinthians 3:13-15: His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives , he will receive his **REWARD**. If it is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
Colossians 3:23-25: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a **REWARD**. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly. I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
2 John 1:8: Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be **REWARDED** fully!.
Revelation 3:11: Jesus says, �I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your **CROWN**!�
SALVATION IS 100% FREE BUT HEAVENLY REWARDS ARE 100% EARNED!!
Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith�and this not from yourselves, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**�**NOT BY WORKS**, so that no one can boast.

"WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH WHICH IS THE FREE GIFT OF GOD--NOT BY WORKS SO THAT NO ONE CAN BOAST!!"
Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and **LOVE** of God our Savior appeared , he saved us, **NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE**, but because of **HIS MERCY**!!
Romans 11:5,6: At the present time there is a remnant **CHOSEN BY GRACE**! And if by grace it is **NO LONGER BY WORKS**; if it were, grace would no longer be grace!!
Romans 9:30-32: What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is **BY FAITH**; but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it Why not? Because they pursued it **NOT BY FAITH** but as it were by works!!
Romans 4:5-8: To the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, **HIS FAITH** is credited as righteousness. David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness **APART FROM WORKS**: "Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will **NEVER COUNT AGAINST HIM**!!" {Psalm 32:1,2}
Ephesians 1:5-8: In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--to the praise of His **GLORIOUS GRACE**, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD**, the **FORGIVENESS OF SINS**, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding!
Ephesians 2:4-10: Because of His great love for us, God,, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is **BY GRACE** you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is **BY GRACE** you have been saved, through faith-- and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT** of God--**NOT BY WORKS**, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!!
John 3:3: Jesus says, I tell you the Truth, no one can see the Kingdom of God **UNLESS HE IS BORN AGAIN!!"
John 1:12,13: To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, **NOR OF A HUMAN DECISION** or a husband's will but, **BORN OF GOD**!!
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "**ALL** that the Father gives Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away... And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day.... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me **DRAWS HIM**, and I will raise him up at the Last Day!!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED THEM**!!"
Romans 829-33,35,38,39: For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son...And those He **PREDESTINED**, He also called; those He **CALLED**, He also justified; those He **JUSTIFIED** He also **GLORIFIED**. What shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His Son but gave Him up for us all--how will He not also give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those **WHOM GOD HAS CHOSEN**? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns... Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?... For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present or the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!!
SALVATION IS THE FREE **GIFT OF GOD** NOT BY WORKS SO THAT NO ONE CAN BOAST!!

"WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH WHICH IS THE FREE GIFT OF GOD--NOT BY WORKS SO THAT NO ONE CAN BOAST!!"
Ephesians 2:4-10: Because of His great love for us, God,, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is **BY GRACE** you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is **BY GRACE** you have been saved, through faith-- and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT** of God--**NOT BY WORKS**, so that no one can boast. FOR WE ARE GOD'S WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS TO DO **GOOD WORKS**, WHICH GOD PREPARED IN ADVANCE FOR US TO DO!!
Everyone agrees that "**FAITH** without **GOOD WORKS ** is dead!" as per James 2:17. However, the reason that God's born again from above saints do good works is **NOT TO BE SAVED** but to bring **MUCH PRAISE** to our Father and Jesus Christ and to gain countless **ETERNAL REWARDS** for faithful and loving service.
Matthew 5:16: Jesus says, "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and **PRAISE YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN**!!"
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, �The Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels and THEN He will **REWARD** each person according to what he has done!�
2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... for we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive **WHAT IS DUE HIM** for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
1 Corinthians 3:13-15: His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives , he will receive his **REWARD**. If it is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
Colossians 3:23-25: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a **REWARD**. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly. I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
2 John 1:8: Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be **REWARDED** fully!.
Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and **LOVE** of God our Savior appeared , he saved us, **NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE**, but because of **HIS MERCY**!!
Romans 11:5,6: At the present time there is a remnant **CHOSEN BY GRACE**! And if by grace it is **NO LONGER BY WORKS**; if it were, grace would no longer be grace!!
Romans 9:30-32: What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is **BY FAITH**; but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it Why not? Because they pursued it **NOT BY FAITH** but as it were by works!!
Romans 4:5-8: To the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, **HIS FAITH** is credited as righteousness. David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness **APART FROM WORKS**: "Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will **NEVER COUNT AGAINST HIM**!!" {Psalm 32:1,2}
Ephesians 1:5-8: In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--to the praise of His **GLORIOUS GRACE**, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD**, the **FORGIVENESS OF SINS**, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding!
John 3:3: Jesus says, I tell you the Truth, no one can see the Kingdom of God **UNLESS HE IS BORN AGAIN!!"
John 1:12,13: To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, **NOR OF A HUMAN DECISION** or a husband's will but, **BORN OF GOD**!!
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "**ALL** that the Father gives Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away... And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day.... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me **DRAWS HIM**, and I will raise him up at the Last Day!!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED THEM**!!"
Romans 829-33,35,38,39: For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son...And those He **PREDESTINED**, He also called; those He **CALLED**, He also justified; those He **JUSTIFIED** He also **GLORIFIED**. What shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His Son but gave Him up for us all--how will He not also give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those **WHOM GOD HAS CHOSEN**? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns... Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?... For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present or the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be **JUSTIFIED BY FAITH**. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
