Be not deceived. The just shall live by faith. If one gives in to the temptations from the devils, or devils, or those that are used for satan’s purpose; they have no faith of God, His righteousness is not in them, the Holy Spirit has exited the premises.
Remember, covetousness is the root cause of transgression against God’s law.
Which of God’s laws? The handwriting of ordinances that was against us. What were these ordinances? They are all that pertains to the sacrificial system—all written having to do with the atoning for sin (Killing of animals and offering them and other items in exchange for forgiveness of, cleansing from sin). These acts could never free one from sin. If it could, they would not have kept sinning, bringing the blood of animals over and over again. The holy days connected to this system, all required in observing them was nailed to the cross. This system pointed souls to the One who would wash away all their sin, all sin period. There is only One whose blood could be offered up, One whose body presented would make the way for souls to be free, saved from sin: The I Am—Jesus Christ.
God’s law of Love and Liberty was not ever abolished, was not nailed to the cross. God’s Ten Commandment Law is His Love, His character—If we abide in Him, His Word abides in us…If we love Him, we know Him—we keep His commandments (We love and cherish, and protect His character as we observe and do His commandments. If we truly have God’s character, His love: We will protect, be mindful of, cherish Him abiding in us living in us through His Holy Spirit, by Faith.
“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 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. 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.”
1 John 2:3-8 KJV
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.”
1 John 3:1-12 KJV
If we are not abiding in Christ, His Word will not abide in us. If this is your state of mind, body, and life: God to God, seek Him for His Holy Spirit and get to know Him, that you will love Him and keep His commandments., and you will love others the same as you will now, love yourself.
Be not deceived.
