The next time a LEGALIST tells you to "KEEP THE LAW"... quote some of these verses!
I usually say... "Amen! Keep the Law... but keep it by God's DEFINITION! NOT YOURS!" ____________________________
1 John 3:22-23
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, BECAUSE WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 And THIS IS HIS COMMANDMENT, THAT WE SHOULD BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. ____________________________
John 6:28-29
28 Then said they unto him, WHAT SHALL WE DO, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD, THAT YE BELIEVE ON HIM whom he hath sent. ____________________________
Acts 16:30-31
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?
31 And they said, BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, and thy house. ____________________________
Romans 4:4-5
4 Now to him that WORKETH is the reward NOT reckoned OF GRACE, BUT OF DEBT.
5 But to him that WORKETH NOT, BUT BELIEVETH ON HIM THAT JUSTIFIETH the ungodly, HIS FAITH is counted for righteousness.
