Under the New Covenant your sins cannot be forgiven unless you receive God's plan of Redemption in Jesus. You cannot redeem yourself by your perceived righteousness because it is flawed. Everyone who repented after the temple was destroyed was forgiven on the basis of Jesus' future sacrifice. They could not enter heaven until Jesus came and released them from Paradise.Right, so that's why we keep God's commandments. He said they are righteousness.
That's only required when the temple exists. We're justified when we repent and are forgiven by God. That's what Daniel and his generation did.
And yet keeping the law is evidence of the spirit of holiness.
He hasn't so I don't have a problem. If God asked you to keep the commandments as in Acts 15, would you do it?
I don't have a problem.
I keep the commandments in Acts 15, but I am not justified by doing that.
Glad you don't have a problem, but I hope you grasped the principle.
