Do you want to be saved? Do you want to enter God's paradise and live forever? Then you only have to do this one thing: Keep God's law! And what is God's law? It is the moral law that God gave to the honorable prophet Moses. For Matthew 19:17-19 says: "And Jesus said to him, 'If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.' Then he said to Him, 'Which ones?' And Jesus said, 'You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and mother; and You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"
Look how good I am, how great I am! Why? Because I tell you: "Keep God's law!" Very few say that. For there are many false Christians who tell you: "You just have to believe in the Lord Jesus. That's enough." These fools! They are servants of the devil. Don't listen to them! For look what Jesus himself says in Matthew 7:21: "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter." And look what He says in John 14:21: "He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me." And 1 John 3:6 says: "No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him."
Do you want to be a TRUE descendant of Abraham? Do you want to be his heir? Then do what Abraham did! And what did the great father Abraham do? Let God himself answer. For God says in Genesis 26:5: "Because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws." Be like Abraham!
That's not true. If we could be saved by the law then He wouldn't have died and resurrected to save us.
Law (Land; Air; Water) cannot be kept..nature gives (inception) and takes (death) from each being (life).
Ab (father) raham (multitude)...God implies singularity, hence "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." ~Matthew 23:9
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 5:20).
Abram ... believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness (Gen. 15:3, 6).
How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision .... Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all (Rom. 4:10, 16).
I believed, therefore have I spoken (Ps. 116:10).
We love him, because he first loved us (1 John 4:19).
I have heard this all my life and I came to the conclusion is all part of the lie. We have been lied about everything, and salvation is no exception. Why do I need to be saved? and what does that mean anyway? I know the story of Adam & Eve who ate of the apple and now Apple is the biggest company on Earth, based on Wall Street valuation. That doesn't make sense.
I'm not saying there isn't a God and I'm not saying he didn't reveal himself to us. But IMO, that wasn't about salvation but it was about awakening. And why do we need an awakening? because, maybe through DNA manipulation, we humans have become/made retarded, a species with amnesia. Does that require salvation? IMO, NO but it requires us to understand why we were created so much more complex & intricate than any other live species on Earth.
