[TruthTalk] 613 Commands

[Judy Taylor]

From: Susan Petersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Adhering to the Law of Moses to earn salvation is legalism and bondage. There is nothing we can do to earn our salvation. Once again I say that we follow the Law out of love for Jesus. If you love Me you will follow my commandments. And there is no difference between God's commandments and Jesus' commandments.   jt: God's condition for salvation is the obedience that comes through faith and Jesus did not give 613 Commands Suzy. The law was given as a tutor or schoolmaster to show us the sinfulness of sin and to lead us to Christ. It's not 613 Commands plus Jesus.  There are two houses or Covenants described in Hebrews 3:   "Therefore holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession. He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.  For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.  For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.  Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house whose house we are IF we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end"   Judyt         --- Judy Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > jt: Both.
