Are we saved by faith alone? By keeping the Law? A little of each?

2024-01-19に共有
Here’s an analogy that might help us better understand how we are saved by faith and not works. And it’s also going to shed some light on the reason that most of our Torah-observant (Hebrew Roots) friends are completely missing the mark on this issue. It all starts with the mission of Jesus (Phil 2:6-11).

  • Thanks for catching my poor wording in this video, friends! Allowing me to clarify. In the video I said that through Jesus' life, suffering, death, and resurrection He achieved perfect righteousness. By that I meant He achieved perfect righteousness for us. While Jesus was always perfectly righteous and without sin, it wasn't until after His resurrection that His perfect righteousness could be credited to us.I should have stated this idea it more clearly! The only way we could be reconciled to a holy and perfect God was with a holy and perfect offering, which we would not have had if Jesus was not without sin. As Peter wrote, “For you know that it is not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed . . . but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect” (1 Pet. 1:18–19). It was the sinless blood of Christ alone that was able to bring peace between God and mankind (Col. 1:20). And with this reconciliation, we can be “holy in [God’s] sight, without blemish and free from accusation” (Col. 1:22). Shalom! RLS

    Oh that wonderful gift of righteousness of Christ that we cannot comprehend fully - sooo outright LOVE from God - can we grasp it fully ?
  • Some people's concept of keeping the Law is based on their emotions. The reality is quite clear, because no one could keep the Law, Jesus suffered and died to free humanity from the Law's condemnation. Therefore, those who are insisting that believers must keep the Law are despising the death of Jesus Christ. They simply don't understand the Scripture.

    This helps me understand my salvation. Clear explanation is very important to me.
  • @patnoon1544
    Thanks Rob, Great explanation of our salvation through faith alone.
  • Love this, brother Rob! Your continuing in making the true gospel very clear is such beautiful gift to so many people! Such a gift of amazing grace from God ♥️ God bless you and Debra ♥️
  • @marcwasson
    That has got to be the best presentation and explanation of the gospel. Especially to my Hebrew roots buddies . Good job. Thanks.
  • Love the visual illustration😇😇 it really helps!😇😇

    Most HRM advocates think "good works" is taking it easy after the sun goes down on Friday and foregoing a nice rack of ribs at Tony Romas. And browbeating non-HRM Christians into doing such things. Good works are helping the poor, preaching the Gospel, living peaceably with all men and resting in Christ as our Sabbath.
  • Good word, brother. Would love to see you on Kingdom in Context again, you were perhaps his best guest to date. Thanks
  • Thanks for all these great comments, friends! Let me clear up something regarding my citing of Isaiah 64. (Since a number of you have commented on it.) Isaiah said: "You meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned; in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved? All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away" (Isa 64:5-6). What kind of acts does he say "are like filthy rags"? Their sinful acts? No, their righteous acts. That's the startling thing about this verse! If you read the prayer of mercy that starts at 63:15, you would expect Isaiah to say "all these sinful things we've done are like filthy rags." But he says we've all sinned (Sounds like Rom. 3:10, 3:23!) so that even our righteous deeds are stained. And that is equally true today. Blessings, RL
  • Very informative as always. From my personal observation from what I noticed from the Torah Observant crowd like Hebrew roots or Hebrew Israelites, they treat putting their faith in Jesus as a stop gap measure. In other word, their righteousness is indeed based on following the Mosiac law, but it they fall short, then they said Jesus death on the cross covers what I could not.
  • The people that are keeping the sabbath only cherry pick. Otherwise, they would have chosen the path to be saved there is a law that says no bastard should enter into the congregation to their tenth generation. If the people that are observing or keeping the law check where they are in bastard they would know that lots of people wasting time
  • Brother Rob, at minute mark 16 you mention the mission of Jesus. My hope and understanding of Jesus mission is reconciling humans back to God. Hallelujah! Romans 5:10 (& entire chp) also Ephesians 2:15,16 I especially like that Jesus abolished the enmity between humans and God which was caused by the law and ordinances. 😮Ooo also 2Corinthians 5:18 ❤ Shalom
