① The Father examines whether the creatures honor His Son or not.
John3:18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
John3:19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
John3:20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
John3:21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
John5:22 For neither does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
John5:23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.
† God the Son who became a creature, inherits the creation world from God the Father.[1] This is because God the Father wants the creatures to come into His Son through love of God. God the Son Himself who created creatures, became a creature and rule the creation world.[2] He allows His creatures to see their Creator directly, to hear His voice, to love and worship their Creator directly.[3]
† God the Son is the Creator.[4] Therefore, the creation world also belongs not only to God the Father but also to God the Son. If God the Son had not made Himself nothing to become a creature, the creation world would still have been the possession of God the Son as well.[5] However, since God the Son made Himself nothing[6], in order for Him to rule the creation world, He must now inherit the creation world from God the Father.[7]
† If God the Son had not become a creature[8], the creatures would not have been able to see the Creator directly[9], would not have been able to know the details of who the Creator was, and therefore would not have been able to deeply love the Creator.[10] It is impossible for any creature to love a being that he/she does not know well in this current creation world.[11] In such a situation, if God the Creator still grants free will to His creatures as they are now, the free will of the creatures cannot possibly be perfected.
† But the Creator Himself became a creature.[12] Therefore, now creatures can see the Creator directly[13] and know with certainty what the Creator is like.[14] There may be no sane creature that will not love the Creator even after seeing the love of God the Creator who was cut off from each other and gave up everything in order to save His Creatures from their agonies of sin forever.[15]
† The Creator became a creature and Himself reigns over His creation world[16] as a King of creatures.[17] Creatures now know how good and merciful their Creator is, and how much He loves them. Creatures now know how beautiful and happy it is to be ruled by the commandments.[18] God the Creator had already determined from the beginning to come to His creatures in this way and began to create the creation world.[19] (I think in a limited way of creatures created and confined in space-time from which we cannot escape forever. Creatures cannot go to when before God the Creator created time forever.[20] Creatures can never exist before God the Creator calls them into being.)
† There are creatures who refuse to repent even though they have seen their Creator in person and resist their Creator to the end.[21] There are creatures who have seen their Creator's love and yet reject their Creator's reign.[22] Some creatures even kill their Creator.[23] This is impossible without confirming their free will that has been granted to them by their Creator.[24]
† Creatures must choose whether to accept and love their Creator, or to reject the Creator's love to satisfy their own greed.[25] Because God the Creator came to them as a fragile creature like them, they can now choose without any external pressure of fear.[26] Each creature is able to make decisions of its own full volition and confirm its own choices.[27] The creatures who love their Creator will forsake their greed and submit to the Creator's reign for the sake of the Creator who made them and loves them.[28] However, the creatures who want to satisfy their greed to the end will kill their Creator in their hearts and will not obey their Creator's reign.[29] These are things that will actually kill their Creator with their own hands which were given by their Creator whenever the circumstances allow.[30]
† Therefore, creatures is divided. Creatures who obey God the Creator who became a creature will love God and their neighbors and keep the commandments the Creator has given them. But creatures who do not obey the LORD Jesus will not only trample their neighbors to satisfy their greed, but also oppose their Creator who keeps them alive.[31]
† Of course, God will give them countless opportunities to turn from their sins. Bur there will be things that will not turn to the end.[32] If God does not stop their evil deeds and keeps them alive, then their neighbors will be constantly trampled on by them and die painfully in their violence. That is why the God of love will not keep them alive indefinitely. To kill them is also God's love for His creatures.[33]
② Those who obey the Son are saved.
Col.1:16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him.
Col.1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
† Those who are truly obedient to the Son do not sin unless they have the sinful desires. The reason they sin is because of their sinful desires that comes from their cursed dust[34] which is their flesh.[35] Although they are gradually overcoming their sin through submission to God the Holy Spirit[36], they have not yet completely escaped from their possibility to sin.[37] This is because the sinful desires are constantly rising from their cursed flesh they are clothed with. Even so, they would never sin[38] without Satan who inspires sin[39], and without their cursed flesh which produces thorns and thistles.[40] Therefore, God will save and preserve them.[41]
③ Those who reject to obey the Son are judged.
John12:31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
Luke20:13 The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.'
Luke20:14 "But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
Luke20:15 They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
Luke20:16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others." When they heard it, they said, "May it never be!"
† God the Son who is equal to God the Father, is the Creator who created the creation world.[42] Therefore, creatures belongs to God the Father and also to God the Son.[43] However, because God the Son made Himself nothing and revealed Himself as a creature confined in space-time[44], God the Son had to inherit the creation world from God the Father[45] in order to rule the creation world He created.[46] God determined to complete the creation of the creation world[47] in the way that God the Son becomes a creature[48] and inherits the creation world[49], and then God the Father began to create the creation world[50] through God the Son, by God the Son[51], and in God the Son.[52]
† Although God the Son came to His creation world as a creature, there are sinners who do not worship God the Son.[53] Even though God the Son commands His creatures to love God and neighbors, they do not listen.[54] They are constantly rebelling against God and trampling on their neighbors[55], and they do not love the LORD Jesus nor are they willing to submit to the reign of the LORD Jesus.[56] If the LORD Jesus sustains their existence and continues to pour out His life upon them[57], they will continue to seek to satisfy their lusts with the blood and tears of their neighbors while they are kept alive through the life of the LORD Jesus.[58] They are scum that only pursues their own happiness, regardless whether their neighbors are wailing, despairing, or torn.[59] Because He is love, the LORD Jesus will give them ample opportunity to turn from their evil[60], but because He is love, the LORD Jesus will not always just listen[61] to the cry of the creatures trampled and pouring out their blood by them.[62] The judgment of the righteous LORD Jesus is never so light that the creatures dare to despise it.[63] If they did not pay the price for their crimes in life, they will surely pay the price thoroughly even in death.[64] It will be too late for them to turn and repent by the time they are burned in the lake of fire.[65]
Matt.25:31 "But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
Matt.25:32 Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Matt.25:33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
† The Lord is the criterion of judgment.[66] Creatures that obey the LORD Jesus will survive and those that disobey the LORD Jesus will die.[67] The LORD Jesus judges.[68] The LORD Jesus will separate the righteous from the wicked.[69] The LORD Jesus Himself who is the criterion of the judgment, judges.
Matt.25:34 Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
Matt.25:35 for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;
Matt.25:36 naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.'
† Adam who honors the LORD Jesus inherits the kingdom in the LORD Jesus.[70] Honoring the LORD Jesus is the condition of salvation for humans to inherit the kingdom of the LORD Jesus.[71]
Matt.25:37 "Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?
Matt.25:38 When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
Matt.25:39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
Matt.25:40 "The King will answer them, 'Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
† The reason the righteous are saved is because they honored the LORD Jesus. But it was not the LORD Jesus who is the King of kings, that they looked after, but their neighbors in distress. Nevertheless, the LORD Jesus accepts the love they show for their neighbors as the love they offer to the LORD Jesus.
† The LORD Jesus receives the love that the saints give to the brother of the LORD Jesus, with the love offered to Him. Then, are all the creatures in the creation world the ones the LORD Jesus calls His brothers? Not like that. Satan is not the brother of the LORD Jesus.[72] Those who join with Satan and trample their neighbors are also not the brothers of the LORD Jesus.[73] Among them there may be those who, like Paul, will turn to the LORD Jesus and someday oppose Satan[74], but the wicked who continue to disobey the LORD Jesus and join with Satan are not the brothers of the LORD Jesus.[75] Brothers of the LORD Jesus are those who submit to the LORD Jesus and fulfill the will of the LORD Jesus on earth.[76] Because they are attacked by Satan[77], they hunger, thirst, wander, naked, beaten, and imprisoned.[78] Regardless of the suffering caused by the LORD Jesus, among those who simply suffer because of their poverty and weakness, there may be some who will repent and become brothers of the LORD Jesus. Therefore, we should be kind to them for the purpose of evangelism and shine the light of good deeds[79], but we should be even more kind to our brothers who are fighting Satan and establishing the will of the LORD Jesus.[80]
Matt.25:41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;
† The wicked will also enter the lake of fire prepared to burn the angels who have sinned. Had they obeyed the LORD Jesus and had done love and justice, they would not have been judged along with Satan. But because they followed Satan and lived a life of sin like Satan, they must be thrown into the lake of fire with Satan.[81] The LORD Jesus will not burn only sinful angels while saving the wicked who have sinned.
Matt.25:42 for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
Matt.25:43 I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'
Matt.25:44 "Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'
† They think they have honored the LORD Jesus. Just as the Pharisees misunderstood themselves as righteous people[82] who faithfully served God[83], so too, they mistakenly believe that they are righteous people who honor the LORD Jesus. But in the eyes of the LORD Jesus, these were sinners, and their sins were the sins of not caring for the LORD Jesus. Many of these people may have prophesied, cast out demons, healed, and performed miracles in the name of the LORD Jesus.[84] But even if they surrendered their bodies to the flames, it would be meaningless if they did not sacrifice them out of love.[85] If these sacrifices were not for the LORD Jesus, where would they come from and for whom?
† Love belongs only to God the Creator.[86] Satan can imitate God's love and deceive humans with false love, but true love belongs only to God the Creator who made and love His creatures.[87] Even idolaters who disobey God the Creator help their neighbors by showing love. But they reject the reign of the LORD Jesus. They do not offer due worship to the LORD Jesus who made them and keeps them alive, nor do they acknowledge the LORD Jesus who owns the creation world, as their lord. They do not love God[88], and they refuse the reign by the commandments.[89] They show kindness only for their own benefit, not to end the suffering of the creation world. A creature that does not love God cannot love its neighbors either.[90] Because true love comes only from God.[91] Therefore, their good deeds cannot also originate from true love. If their good deeds are of sincere love, those who receive their help must draw nearer to the LORD Jesus who is the Creator and the Sacrifice of the creation world.[92]
† Creatures can have life[93] only through the LORD Jesus.[94] Any help that does not lead to the LORD Jesus who is the true life, cannot be genuine help. If any help moves someone further away from the LORD Jesus, that help will actually kill him/her. It is not enough just to help the poor neighbors, but to help them gain true life. If we only give them the comforts of this world, would that be true love? (It does not mean that all help is useless, but that there is a limit to the help that does not lead to the LORD Jesus.) Even if those who rebel against God the Creator help their neighbors, their help will not lead them to the LORD Jesus the true life. The good deeds of idolaters cannot end Satan's oppression. As long as Satan lives, there will always be wretched ones. Help to end Satan's oppression is real help.[95] Helping the brothers of the LORD Jesus in the fight against Satan, the LORD Jesus accepts as helping the LORD Jesus.[96]
Matt.25:45 "Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of these least, you didn't do it to me.'
Matt.25:46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
† Just as the Pharisees showed various righteous-like deeds by giving a tenth of spices-mint, dill and cummin[97], so the weeds in the church can help others with many good deeds. But, unless their good deeds were to accomplish the will of the LORD Jesus, no matter how many prophecy they may have prophesied, no matter how many demons they may have driven out, no matter how many sick people they may have healed, and no matter how many miracles they may have performed, the LORD Jesus would not accept their deeds as righteousness.[98] Whatever righteousness the weeds that do not live to prepare the way for the LORD Jesus to end Satan's oppression, pretend, the LORD Jesus will not accept their deeds as righteous, and they will eventually be thrown into the lake of fire.[99]
† The weeds may have done some righteous deeds[100], but it was not for the LORD Jesus.[101] The weeds may have shown some kindness, but it was not from their submission to the LORD Jesus.[102] Their sacrifice was only for themselves, not for the LORD Jesus.[103] Doing good is good.[104] But what good is it if the good deeds are not for the LORD Jesus?[105] The LORD Jesus is God the Creator who sustains the existence of His creatures.[106] All creatures must exist only for the sake of their Creator God[107] who made them into existence and sustains their existence even now.[108] If it is not to accomplish the will of God[109] to eternally eliminate sin and suffering from His creation world[110], no matter how much effort we put in[111], what does that have to do with the LORD Jesus? Good deeds that are not submitted to the will of the LORD Jesus are nothing but greed.[112] Even the wicked show kindness to others for their own benefit.[113] What matters is not the act of giving itself, but for whom we give.[114]
④ The Mediator of the new covenant
Ex.20:18 All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.
Ex.20:19 They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don't let God speak with us, lest we die."
Ex.20:20 Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."
† The Israelites feared they would die if they heard the word directly from God, so they asked Moses to deliver the word of God to them and they said they would receive the word Moses delivered as the word of God. This shows the folly of the people of Israel not knowing their hidden evil. If they hear the word of God through a certain person, they will reject the word and even kill the prophet who delivers the word of God.[115] But this word has another meaning. Since there is no one among human beings who keep the commandments of God by their own strength, if they hear the word directly from God[116], they all will be judged and die immediately.[117] Therefore, in order for them not to die even after hearing the word of God, until they redeemed through the blood of the Son so that they can receive God the Holy Spirit, they must be able to survive even though they fail to keep the word of God completely.[118] In other words, we need a period of time to repent. Through God the Holy Spirit, we can keep the word of God.[119]
† Of course, God is able to keep the sinners alive even if the people of Israel hear directly from God and do not obey His words. But if God would do that, the people would fail to understand the concept that if they sin, they die. If no one dies after breaking the commandments, will they repent and turn from their evil?[120] Can they be thankful that they are saved from death? They will come to realize the concept of death only when they are burned in the lake of fire. It means that no one will be saved. If no one dies after sinning, in the end no one will be saved. The law was given to make the people come to the Messiah to live, realizing that anyone who break the commandments will surely die.[121] Anyone who breaks the commandments must die immediately so that the people come to know the fear of judgment and seek forgiveness of their sins. Only by knowing the fear of judgment will the people come to the LORD Jesus to be forgiven of their sins[122] and submit to God the Holy Spirit to keep the commandments.[123]
† Therefore, the Son, the true Mediator, foreshadowed by Moses, becomes a human being and comes to deliver the word of God to humans.[124] The Son who is the true God, made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a human[125], and delivers the word of God to humans as a human being. Although God delivers His word through a human according to the demands of the people, the truth is that God Himself delivers His word to His people.[126]
† Even if it is a word transmitted through humans, there is no difference that it is the word with the same authority as that given by God.[127] Even if we violate the commandments transmitted through humans, we will be subject to the same judgment as if we violate the commandments that God Himself gave.[128] Moreover, although the Son came as a human, He is God the Creator[129] and Lawgiver.[130] Those who violated the law which was given through angels, died without mercy.[131] How much severer judgment will be given to those who break the commandments[132] given through God the Son?[133] God the Son is the messenger who came as a human being to deliver the word of God the Father to humans on behalf of God the Father according to the request of humans.[134] (I only think of the situation after God the Son made Himself nothing and confined Himself to space-time.[135] God the Son is God the Creator who created[136] and maintains[137] space-time.[138])
† If so, whether God Himself gives the commandments or through human beings, isn't it the same as not being able to keep the commandements on our own strength and eventually perish? When God gives us the commandments through human beings, we sinners are given the opportunity to repent because we do not die instantly even if we break the commandments.[139] Also, if we receive the commandments directly from God, we will keep them not because we love God, but because we fear God. Accordingly, when the coercion of fear disappears or we become weary, we will stop keeping the commandments. Since the seeds of sin hidden within us are not annihilated under these circumstances, even though we may appear to be keeping the commandments, in reality we do not love God, so we cannot be freed from our sin.[140] If a creature is afraid to forsake God's love because he/she loves God, then he/she can forsake sin. But if he/she does not love God and only fears God, he/she cannot forsake sin.[141] Therefore, God sends human messengers to humans so that they can keep the commandments by love not by force, and become those who will never sin forever. And God the Son Himself comes as a human messenger and demonstrates His love for His creatures on the cross.[142]
† The fact that the Creator Son came as a human and personally delivered the commandments to His creatures is more than just delivering the commandments. The Son gives humans not only the commandments but also the power to keep them.[143] This is the new covenant.[144] The Son came as a human, sacrificed Himself, and made a new covenant with us by His own blood.[145] Through God the Holy Spirit who came to those whose sins were forgiven by the blood of the Son, the saints enter into the new covenant.[146] The commandments that were engraved on the stone tablets are also engraved on the tablets of our hearts.[147] Therefore, the commandments that we could not keep before, through the help of God the Holy Spirit who pours out God's love into our hearts, become the commandments that we can keep.[148] The commandments that were the basis of death as the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for those who were unable to keep them[149], becomes the basis of life that can avoid judgment as the fruit of the tree of life for those who come to be able to keep them.[150]
† God the Creator Himself became a creature, giving Himself an example of keeping the commandments, and commands His creatures to keep the commandments.[151] To the creatures who could not have dared to see God the Creator directly[152], God the Creator becomes a creature and comes to His creatures, to angels and humans, personally.[153] The fearful Creator God who can create and destroy the world in an instant, came to His creatures as a creature.[154] The creatures directly see what God the Creator is like.[155] The creatures directly feel how much God the Creator loves them[156], and they see how righteous God is with their own eyes that God created for them.[157]
Heb.9:15 For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
† The Son is the Mediator of the new covenant.
Heb.9:18 Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.
Heb.9:19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
Heb.9:20 saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded toward you."
† Moses became the mediator of the people of Israel and made a covenant with God through the blood of animals. This foreshadows God the Son, the Mediator[158], making a covenant with God the Father for His creatures through His own blood. Just as Moses made the covenant with the blood of animals[159], so the Son makes the covenant with His blood.[160] The covenant made with the blood of animals was broken, but the covenant made with the blood of the Son was put in the ark and entered into the most holy place. In other words, it is kept without breaking. This was shown through the 2 stone tablets given to Moses. The stone tablets that God directly cut and wrote[161] through His angel[162] are broken because of the sins of Israel.[163] In other words, no human being can keep the commandments that God Himself has given without intercession. However, after the intercession of Moses[164], the commandments that God engraved on the stone tablets that Moses had to cut by himself, are kept.[165] The intercession of Moses symbolizes the atonement of the cross.[166] The 2 stone tablets that Moses had to carve symbolize ①the Word that came as a human being, that is, the Son[167], and ②the heart of a sinner covered with the blood of the Son, that is, the heart of the saint.[168] After the intercession of the cross, the commandments that God the Holy Spirit engraved on the hearts of the saints through the blood of the Son, are kept.[169] The Son came as a human with the sinful desires[170] of His cursed flesh[171] and kept all the commandments through God the Holy Spirit.[172] In other words, He loved God and His neighbors to the point of death.[173] Those who receive the Son come to be covered with the blood of the Son, and God the Holy Spirit comes upon those covered with the blood of the Son. Those who receive God the Holy Spirit come to be able to keep the commandments through God the Holy Spirit.[174]
2Cor.3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
† Through God the Holy Spirit, the commandments are engraved on the hearts of those who enter into the Son who came as the word engraved in the flesh. The 1st covenant was engraved on stone, but the new covenant is engraved on the heart.
2Cor.3:6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
† The 1st covenant was a law of death because there was no one who could keep it[175], but the new covenant can be kept through God the Holy Spirit, therefore, the commandments become the law of life for those to whom God the Holy Spirit comes.[176] Because God the Holy Spirit comes on only those who receive the Son, the commandments become life only to those who receive the Son. The same commandments become a law of death confirming their judgment to those who break the commandments by rejecting the Son, and a law of life confirming their salvation who keep the commandments by receiving the Son. In other words, to those who reject the Son, the commandments become the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, and to those who receive the Son, the commandments become the fruit of life that enables them to live forever.[177]
Gal.3:16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn't say, "To seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your seed," which is Christ.
Gal.3:17 Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
Gal.3:18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
Gal.3:19 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
† God promised Abraham that He would send the Messiah.[178] But before the Son comes as the Messiah, God added the law because people would be blinded by their transgressions and not receive the Son. Through angels, by the hand of Moses, God gave the law to the people.[179] Before the Son comes, the law was given to describe what the Son would be like.[180] So when the Son comes, the people would recognize the Son and welcome Him, their sins would be forgiven in Him and they would inherit a new heaven and a new earth under Him.[181]
Gal.3:20 Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
† Moses became the mediator for the law God gave to the people through angels. Therefore, the people before the Son comes were able to prove their faith in God's promises by keeping the law given through Moses.[182] And they were saved by faith in the Son to come which was proved through keeping the law.[183] Those who believe in the Messiah receive forgiveness of their sins and will be saved from the judgment against sin.[184] Those who believe in the Messiah who will save them from sin and rule by the law of love, keep the law.[185] Of course, these people would not have been able to keep the law according to the true intention of God who gave it.[186] It is because they did not have the strength to keep the law even in their hearts.[187]
† God promised to send the Son as the Messiah. Although the law was given to the people of Israel through a mediator called Moses, this Messiah's promise was addressed directly to Abraham, not through a mediator.[188] Those who believe in the Messiah's promise which God directly promised, will receive the Messiah, and their faith in receiving the Messiah is proved by keeping the law that foreshadowed the Messiah. The sacrifices, feasts and prophecies of the law all foreshadow the Messiah.[189] When the Son whom the Father has promised to send, comes, the Son will become the true Mediator, connecting His Father and His people.
† The 1st covenant was given through angels, but the new covenant was given through the Son.[190] The 1st covenant was given through Moses without any promise, but the new covenant was given through the Son who came as the promise. The 1st covenant was just an intermediate process for making the new covenant that the Son would come and give. The Son became the true Mediator who came by promise, connecting His people to His Father.[191] Moses who did not come through any promise, was a mediator who deliverd the law that could not be kept by the people[192] and was only a type of the Son who is the true Mediator, but the Son who came through the promise declares the law with the power to keep the law.[193] It is the same law[194], but it becomes the law of death that cannot be kept, without receiving the Son who came as the promise[195], and it becomes the law of life that can be kept, if we believe in the Son who has come as the promise.[196] This power to keep the law is God the Holy Spirit who came in the name of the Son.[197]
† God promised to send the Messiah.[198] Since this promise is a decree of God's determination, the creatures have nothing to to with God's determination.[199] After God promised that He would send the Messiah[200], He gave the law through a mediator. The law is the shadows representing the Son to come.[201] Those who believe in God's promise that He would come as a creature[202], will keep the law which is the shadows of the Messiah.[203] By keeping the law, the people will recognize the Son to come, realize how far they are from God, and will welcome the Son when He come. Therefore, unlike the promise made by God alone, the law has a mediator. And the creatures can choose whether to draw near to God through the mediator, or reject God by rejecting the word given through the mediator.[204] Contrary to the promise, the law allows each creature to choose whether to accept or reject it.
† The promise that God Himself would come as a creature to save His creatures from their sins, cannot be changed. No creature dares to influence that promise in any way. But the law that God gave to His creatures to make them believe the promise can either be accepted or rejected by them. Creatures who receive the coming Messiah by receiving the law will live, and those who reject the coming Messiah by rejecting the law will die.[205] The law itself is not life, but the law leads to life.[206] The promise that God unilaterally gave is life, and this promise is the Messiah.[207] The law leads to the promise of the Messiah so that we can receive life. The law was important because it led us to the Messiah who made it possible for us to keep the commandments of love[208], but it was not possible to obtain life by keeping the law itself.[209] The law is not something we can keep on our own.[210] We can only pretend to keep it.[211] But in the Messiah, we can keep the law only through God the Holy Spirit.[212] The law was only a temporary process leading to the Messiah, the promise itself that gives life.[213]
† However, the Son came as the true Mediator foreshadowed through Moses, and as the reality of the promise promised by God.[214] Not only God's promise to His creatures fulfilled through the Son, but the Creator Himself came as the Mediator through whom His creatures can come to God the Creator, unlike the creature mediator who was temporarily placed before the Son came.[215] Moses became a mediator and delivered the law of death, but the Son, the true Mediator, delivered the law of life to His creatures. If the law delivered by Moses was a law of death that indicated that the creatures were under judgment by proving that they had departed from God's life and were under sin[216], then the law delivered by the Son is the law of life connecting His creatures with God's life so that they can overcome sin[217], and not suffer the punishment of their own sins.[218] Since the Son is the fulfillment of the promise[219] and the true Mediator[220], God's promise is perfect and the Mediator is also perfect. Therefore, creatures can have access to God's life abundantly through the Son.[221]
Gal.3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most assuredly righteousness would have been of the law.
Gal.3:22 But the Scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
† The law reveals sin.[222] Only through the Son[223] can our sins be forgiven and our souls be saved.[224] The law was given to lead those whose sins were revealed through the law, to the Son so that they might be saved. The law itself is not the means by which sins are forgiven and leads to salvation. The law was given so that those who realized their sin through the law, might be saved through faith in the promised Messiah. Therefore, since the law is a law for the promise given to receive God's promise, the law cannot break 'the promise' which is the reason and purpose of it.
† God gave the law to Moses through an angel and passed it on to the people.[225] This is a foreshadowing of the Son taking His Father's law and passing it on to the people.[226] Just as Moses received the law from an angel and delivered it to the people, so the Son receives the law from His Father and delivers it to the people. (I am thinking only while God the Son reveals Himself as a creature in His creation world.) The Father had 'promised' the Son who would bring His law to His people. The law given through Moses who was a type, was a law that revealed that we were under sin because we could not keep it.[227] But the law given through the Son who is the substance, is a law that makes us keep it and live in it.[228] Therefore, to receive salvation through faith in the promised Messiah, the Son, not through keeping the law, means that only through the Son can we reach true repentance and keep the law.[229] It does not mean that if we just believe we will be able to avoid judgment even if we break the law and do not love God and our neighbors.[230] Sin is breaking the law.[231] Any creature that breaks the law and sins will surely be judged.[232] However, those who repent of transgressing the law[233] through the Son[234] and keep the law through God the Holy Spirit who is sent in the name of the Son, can avoid judgment.[235]
John8:3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst,
John8:4 they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
John8:5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such. What then do you say about her?"
John8:6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
† A woman caught in adultery comes to the Son. The Son starts to write on the ground. It is the scene where the angel engraved the commandments on the 1st two stone tablets he cut out himself. But the 1st covenant was broken. Therefore, she and all the fools around her must die because they have broken the covenant. The words written on the ground at this time can be inferred from the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount.[236] The Son reveals the true meaning of the law. At that time, an angel who received the command of God, engraved the commandments on stone tablets, but now God the Creator Himself who gave the command to the angel, engraves His commandments on His creation world He created.[237]
John8:7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
† The Son tells us that it is not only the woman who died in the 1st covenant, but all of us. There is no one who has kept the 1st covenant and lived. All died. Since no one can keep the 1st covenant, the 1st covenant written on the stone tablets is the law of death.[238]
John8:8 Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
† The Son writes on the ground again. It is the scene where the angel engraved the commandments again on the two stone tablets that Moses had to cut directly. The 1st covenant was broken because of sin, but the new covenant is not broken because of the blood of the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The atonement of the cross[239] changes the same commandments from the 1st covenant, the commandments of death, to the new covenant, the commandments of life.[240] The 1st covenant written on the ground at the beginning indicates that all people have died under the law, and then the Son writes the new covenant on the ground again, indicating that those who enter into the new covenant through the Son, will live.[241] The angel engraved the commandments on the stone tablets with his finger.[242] However, God the Creator writes His commandments on our hearts with His own blood[243] through God the Holy Spirit.[244]
John8:9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
† The only person who confessed their sins before the law established by the Son and came to the Son, is the woman.
John8:10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"
John8:11 She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."
† All are sinners who must be forgiven, but only the woman acknowledes that she is a sinner worthy of death and asks for forgiveness from God the Son. Therefore, only the woman is forgiven. Others, even though they have been convicted of their sins by the law, remain in their sins because they have refused to come to the Son who can forgive them.[245] Those who realize that they are sinners who deserve to die through the 1st covenant, the law written on the two stone tablets, come to the Son who is the true covenant written in the creation world[246], and receive forgiveness through the blood of the Son.[247] A new commandment is written on the heart of those who have been forgiven by the blood of the Son.[248] Those who enter into this new covenant, the law of the Spirit of life, made by the blood of the Son, come to keep the commandments.[249] So to them, the commandments become life, not death.

| Desert church[268]-The church that will give birth to the Son[269] | True temple, the Son[270]-The Son who will come again and rule the nations with an iron scepter was the temple that came to this earth.[271] Just as the desert church gave birth to the Son[272], the Son gave birth to the church, His bride.[273] | ①The church bought with His blood[274]-Satan is cast out to the earth by the cross of the Son and their testimony.[275] These are the witnesses[276] who will prove the truthfulness of the commandments through the resurrection or the transformation, and these are the remnant and overcomers who will receive the authority of iron scepter.[277] These participate in the Son's judgment of Satan and the establishment of the 1000-year kingdom.[278] I believe that God the Holy Spirit comes as the early rain and the latter rain.[279] ②Lampstand church[280]-Among the church bought with His blood, it seems to symbolize the church especially in the '70th week'. If so, it probably symbolizes the church of the saints, in whom God the Holy Spirit came as the latter rain. (Some can view that this lampstand church as representing the church bought with His blood by age.) It is a church of 2 witnesses who will confirm Satan's judgment following the Son who is the Seed of a woman, in the last days.[281] |
† The 1st covenant, the law of condemnation[282], is the law of the Father. (The law may not belong only to the Father. Because when God gave the law, the Son had not yet revealed Himself as a creature in space-time.) The intercession of forgiveness, the atonement of the cross, is the law of the Son.[283] The new covenant that gives life, the law of life, is God the Holy Spirit.[284] God the Holy Spirit comes in the name of the Son to those who repent of their sins revealed through the law.[285] Only those who obey God the Holy Spirit who came in the name of the Son, can keep the commandments and submit to the Son who rules with love.[286] Only through God the Holy Spirit can we pass through the throne above the commandments in the most holy place, that is, the cherubim and the flaming sword.
† The cherubim and the flaming sword symbolize the throne above the commandments and God seated on it. The throne of God is supported by cherubim.[287] The God who is seated on the throne reigns over His creation world.[288] God reigns through the commandments of love.[289] God the Son will burn them all in the lake of fire[290], leaving only those who obey the Son who rules by the commandments of love.[291] Therefore, the commandments are life to creatures.[292] Those who pass through the cherubim and the flaming sword come to the commandments engraved on the stone tablets below the throne. In other words, they come to the tree of life, the commandments. Only those who keep the commandments can eat the fruit of the tree of life which gives eternal life. Only those who obey the Son can eat the fruit. To obey the Son is to keep the commandments[293], and only those who obey the Son can have life.[294] The Son is the life of the creatures.[295] The Son who gives the Spirit who gives life is the commandments and the tree of life.[296]
† In order to pass the cherubim and the flaming sword, we must have nothing to do with sin.[297] Only one who cannot sin can pass the cherubim and the flaming sword.[298] The way God has established to make sinful creatures unable to sin is the law of the Father, the law of the Son, and the law of God the Holy Spirit. Only those who realize their sins through the law of the Father, have their sins forgiven through the law of the Son, and overcome sin through the law of God the Holy Spirit, can pass through the cherubim and the flaming sword to reach the tree of life. Therefore, only those who overcome sin through God the Holy Spirit who came to those who realized their sins and returned to the Son and received forgiveness, can pass through the cherubim and the flaming sword and come into the reign of the commandments of love and gain life.
Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.
† Creatures cannot love the Creator first without knowing the love of the Creator.[299] God the Creator showed His love for His creatures on the cross.[300] The love of the Creator gave creatures the reason to love their Creator until they give up their will to sin.[301] By knowing the Creator's love, the creatures finally came to be able to truly love the Creator.[302] Proving the truthfulness of the commandments by the firstfruits also begins with the forgiveness of sins through the love demonstrated on the cross. Since all creatures are reconciled to the Father by the blood of the Son, the Son is primarily humans' Mediator, but broadly He is also the Mediator of all creatures that have the possibility to sin.[303] (I am now thinking while God the Son is taking the very nature of a creature. Only while God the Creator is a creature can He be the Mediator between the Creator and the creatures.[304])
Num.5:17 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water.
Num.5:22 and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.' The woman shall say, 'Amen, Amen.'
Num.5:23 "The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.
Num.5:24 He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
Num.5:28 If the woman isn't defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
† The curse words written on the scroll symbolize the law, the commandments.[305] The commandments are life to those who keep them, and curses to those who break them. It is a method used to determine whether a woman has committed audultery, but in fact, everyone is an adulterous woman.[306] The scribes and Pharisees who jabbered that the woman who committed adultery should be stoned, were also women who committed adultery. The commandments are the Son. The priest also symbolizes the Son. The holy water in a clay jar also symbolizes the Son in His earthen body. And the dust symbolizes death.[307] Those who are in the Son have their names written in the book of life, but those who leave the Son will be written in the dust. Therefore, the bitter water the woman drinks symbolizes that a person who breaks the commandments, is brought under the influence of death.
† The Son revealed sin through the law.[308] It turned out that not only the woman in adultery, but everyon who had captured her, was under sin. Because everyone has sinned[309], everyone must be cursed.[310] Since everyone drank the water of the commandments and their sins were exposed and condemned, everyone must be cursed and die.[311] This is the state of all humans before they are forgiven through the Son. But the scribes and Pharisees who brought the woman to the LORD Jesus, were thinking they were righteous.

[20] Rom.8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[23] John19:10 Pilate therefore said to him, "Aren't you speaking to me? Don't you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?" Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."
[24] Ezek.18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord Yahweh: therefore turn yourselves, and live.
[25] James1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
[26] Matt.26:62 The high priest stood up, and answered him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?" But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."
[27] Eccles.8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

[35] Rom.7:22 For I delight in God's law after the inward man, but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!" Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.
[57] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
[58] Is.59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness. None sues in righteousness, and none pleads in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper. Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they don't know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes therein does not know peace.
[59] Zech.7:10 Don't oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the sojourner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.' But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear. Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law, and the words which Yahweh of Hosts had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from Yahweh of Hosts.
[60] 2Pet.3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
[61] Ex.22:22 "You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child. If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry; and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
[62] Ps.9:12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.
[63] Rev.6:15 The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"
[64] Rev.20:12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.
[65] Is.47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
[66] Acts10:42 He charged us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins."
[67] Rom.14:11 It is written: "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.'" So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
[68] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
Rev.20:13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
[69] Acts17:31 because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead."
[70] 1Cor.6:9 Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.
[71] Gal.5:19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
[72] Matt.13:27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?' "He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'
[73] James4:4 You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
[74] Col.1:21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation--
[75] Phil.3:18 For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.
[76] John13:20 I tell you the truth, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me."
[77] Rom.8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
[78] Col.1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the assembly;
[79] Matt.5:15 Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
[80] Gal.6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
[81] Rev.20:12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
[82] Luke18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.' But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn't even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
[83] John8:39 They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham didn't do this. You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
[84] Matt.7:22 Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy by your name, by your name cast out demons, and by your name do many mighty works?' Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
[85] 1Cor.13:3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
[86] 1John4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
[87] Rom.5:5 and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
[88] Rom.1:20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse. Because, knowing God, they didn't glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.
[89] Rom.1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen.
[90] 1John3:14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him. This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
[91] 1John4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
[92] 1John4:12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.
[93] John14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
[94] John6:51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world."
[95] 1John3:17 But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him? My little children, let's not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
[96] Matt.10:14 Whoever doesn't receive you, nor hear your words, as you go out out of that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet. Most assuredly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
[97] Matt.23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
[98] Matt.7:21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy by your name, by your name cast out demons, and by your name do many mighty works?' Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
[99] Matt.13:38 the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the darnel are the sons of the evil one. The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. As therefore the darnel is gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be in the end of this age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
[100] Is.1:11 "What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?," says Yahweh. "I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, And the fat of fed animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs, Or of male goats. When you come to appear before me, Who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts? Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can't bear with evil assemblies. My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts; They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.
[101] Zech.7:5 "Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, 'When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really to me?
[102] Rom.16:17 Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them. For those who are such don't serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
[103] Mal.1:6 "A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, then where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me? Says Yahweh of Hosts to you, priests, who despise my name. You say, 'How have we despised your name?' You offer polluted bread on my altar. You say, 'How have we polluted you?' In that you say, 'Yahweh's table contemptible.' When you offer the blind for sacrifice, isn't that evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, isn't that evil? Present it now to your governor! Will he be pleased with you? Or will he accept your person?" says Yahweh of Hosts. "Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With this, will he accept any of you?" says Yahweh of Hosts.
[104] 2Cor.9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.
[105] Mic.6:6 How shall I come before Yahweh, And bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, With calves a year old? Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, To love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
[106] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
[107] Rom.14:7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord's.
[108] 1Cor.8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
[109] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
[110] Rev.21:3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away. He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."
[111] 1Cor.13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing. If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.
[112] James1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
[113] Luke6:33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.
[114] Luke9:24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.
[115] Matt.23:37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!
[116] Gal.3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most assuredly righteousness would have been of the law. But the Scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
[117] Judg.13:22 Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. "We are doomed to die!" he said to his wife. "We have seen God!"
[118] Matt.5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
[119] Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
[120] Eccles.8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
[121] Rom.3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God. Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
[122] Gal.3:24 So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
[123] Rom.8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
[124] Deut.18:15 Yahweh your God will raise up to you a prophet from the midst of you, of your brothers, like me; to him you shall listen; according to all that you desired of Yahweh your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Yahweh my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die. Yahweh said to me, They have well said that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
[125] Phil.2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.
[126] Ex.20:17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's." All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance. They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don't let God speak with us, lest we die."
Matt.5:1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
[127] Acts3:23 It will be, that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.'
[128] Luke10:16 Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."
[129] John1:3 All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.
[130] James4:12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
Gal.3:19 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
[131] Heb.10:28 A man who disregards Moses' law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
[132] Heb.1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
[133] Heb.2:2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense; how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation -- which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;
[134] John13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.
[135] Rom.8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[136] Rom.8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[137] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
[138] Col.3:11 where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
[139] Jer.44:4 However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, don't do this abominable thing that I hate. But they didn't listen, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods.
Eccles.8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
[140] Mark12:29 Jesus answered, "The greatest is, 'Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one: you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the primary commandment.

[145] Luke22:20 He took the cup in like manner after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, that which is poured out for you.
[146] Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
[147] 2Cor.3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
[148] Rom.5:5 and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
[149] Zech.5:3 Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.
[150] Deut.4:40 You shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Yahweh your God gives you, forever.
[151] 1John1:1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);
[152] 1Tim.6:15 which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace!" His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will eat me up."
[158] 1Tim.2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
[159] Heb.9:18 Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood. For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded toward you."

[169] Ezek.36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.
[170] Rom.7:22 For I delight in God's law after the inward man, but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
[171] Gen.3:17 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
[172] Heb.4:15 For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
[173] John15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
[174] Rom.8:4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
[175] Gal.2:16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
[176] Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
[177] John6:47 Most assuredly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world."
[178] Gen.22:16 and said, "I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son, that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies. In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
[179] John5:46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
[180] John5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.
[181] Is.66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, says Yahweh, so shall your seed and your name remain. It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says Yahweh.
[182] James2:21 Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected; and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God. You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith. In like manner wasn't Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
[183] Heb.11:4 By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.
[184] Ps.32:1 Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn't impute iniquity, In whose spirit there is no deceit.
[185] Matt.22:36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?" Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
[186] Matt.5:20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. "You have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not murder;' and 'Whoever shall murder shall be in danger of the judgment.' But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.
[187] Rom.7:22 For I delight in God's law after the inward man, but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
[188] Gen.22:16 and said, "I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son, that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies. In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
[189] Col.2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day, which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.
[190] Heb.2:2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense; how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation -- which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;
[191] 1Tim.2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
[192] 2Cor.3:7 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away:
[193] James4:12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
[194] John13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.
[195] Rom.3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God. Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
[196] Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
[197] Gal.5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one other, that you may not do the things that you desire. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[198] Gen.3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."
John8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad." The Jews therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
[199] John14:30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
Matt.26:24 The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."
Luke22:53 When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn't stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
Rom.9:20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?" Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
[200] Gal.3:16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn't say, "To seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your seed," which is Christ. Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise. What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
[201] Heb.10:1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
John5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.
[202] Is.53:4 Surely he has borne our infirmities, and carried our diseases; yet we esteemed him stricken, struck by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Is.9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Hosts will perform this.
Is.7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
[203] John14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
[204] Ex.20:19 They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don't let God speak with us, lest we die."
Luke10:16 Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."
[205] Ex.24:3 Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do."
[206] Gal.3:24 So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor.
[207] Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
[208] 1Cor.9:21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law.
[209] Gal.5:3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
[210] Matt.5:21 "You have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not murder;' and 'Whoever shall murder shall be in danger of the judgment.' But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.
[211] Matt.23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
[212] Gal.3:14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
Gal.5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[213] John20:31 but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
Acts3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you--even Jesus. He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.
[214] Deut.18:15 Yahweh your God will raise up to you a prophet from the midst of you, of your brothers, like me; to him you shall listen;
1Tim.2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
[215] John14:24 He who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The word which you hear isn't mine, but the Father's who sent me.
[216] Rom.3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God. Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
[217] 1Cor.9:21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law.
[218] Gal.5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[219] Rom.10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Matt.5:17 "Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill.
[220] 1Tim.2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
[221] John14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
[222] Rom.7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn't have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn't have known coveting, unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."
[223] Acts4:12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, in which we must be saved!"
[224] 1Pet.1:9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
[225] Acts7:37 This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet to you from among your brothers, like me.' This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living oracles to give to us,
[226] Heb.1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
[227] Rom.3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
[228] John13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.
Rom.13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
2John1:5 Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
[229] Rom.8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
[230] 1Cor.9:21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law.
James2:17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself. Yes, a man will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
[231] 1John3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
[232] Rom.3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God. Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
[233] 2Cor.12:21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness and sexual immorality and lustfulness which they committed.
[234] John3:18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
[235] 1Cor.9:21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law.
[236] Matt.5:20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. "You have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not murder;' and 'Whoever shall murder shall be in danger of the judgment.' But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.
[237] Heb.1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
[238] Rom.3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God. Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
[239] 1John3:1 Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.
[240] 1John2:7 Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.
2John1:5 Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
[241] Jer.31:31 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband to them, says Yahweh. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yahweh: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
[242] Deut.9:10 Yahweh delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
Acts7:53 You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn't keep it!"
[243] Luke22:20 He took the cup in like manner after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, that which is poured out for you.

[244] Heb.10:16 "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds."
2Cor.3:6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
[245] Luke5:21 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
John5:30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
[246] 1John3:23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.
[247] Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.

[249] 1John3:1 Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.
[250] Heb.9:18 Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood. For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded toward you." Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in like manner with the blood. According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission. It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
[251] Gal.3:19 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
[252] Heb.8:10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be to them a God, And they will be to me a people. They will not teach every man his fellow citizen, Every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' For all will know me, From the least of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more."
[253] Gal.3:12 The law is not of faith, but, "The man who does them will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree," that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
[254] Acts7:53 You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn't keep it!"
[255] Heb.1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
John1:17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Heb.2:2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense; how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation -- which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;
[256] Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
[257] 1John2:1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
[258] Acts2:33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.
[259] John15:26 "When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
[260] Rom.3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God. Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
[261] Acts2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
[262] Gal.5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one other, that you may not do the things that you desire. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[263] John1:17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
[264] John1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
2Tim.1:9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
[265] James1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
1John5:7 It is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
[266] Gal.3:22 But the Scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed. So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
[267] Rom.8:15 For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"
Gal.4:6 And because you are sons, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba, Father!"
[268] Acts7:38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living oracles to give to us,
[269] Rev.12:1 A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child. She cried out, laboring and in pain, giving birth.
[270] Rev.12:5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
[271] John2:19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews therefore said, "Forty-six years was this temple in building, and will you raise it up in three days?" But he spoke of the temple of his body.
[272] Jer.31:22 How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? for Yahweh has created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man.
Gen.21:2 Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

[273] Gen.2:21 Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
James1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
1Cor.4:15 For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the gospel.
[274] Acts20:28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.
