False doctrine of “works salvation” espoused on FB, once again: “We cannot find in the Bible that man can be saved to eternal life without obedience to the Law of Yahweh.”

Christian response,

If obedience to the Law was the standard by which man achieved righteousness with the Father through atonement for sin, all of mankind would be destined to die in Hell because all of mankind is under the condemnation of sin (Romans 5:12-18) for we are all sinners (Romans 3:23) and to violate one-jot or one-tittle of the Law is to violate the whole Law (James 2:10); therefore, the Law cannot save you as it only condemns you via the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20) void atonement and as sinners, we require an Intercessor who is perfect, sinless, righteous, before God the Father to pay our sin-debt for us (Romans 8:3-4). His Name is Jesus Christ and ONLY by grace (unmerited favor unattainable by human effort) through faith-believing in Jesus as your God and Mediator for your sin will you find atonement for sin and life in Eternity (John 3:16-18; John 14:6).

Your works of obedience are relevant SUBSEQUENT to your confession of Jesus as Lord and receiving the indwelling Holy Spirit as your Seal and Guarantor of relationship with God the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14; Ephesians 2:8-9). Until you have entered into a relationship with the Father by belief-faith in the shed blood of the Son, Jesus Christ, your works of attempted obedience are as a smelly, filthy, bloody, menstrual cloth in the nose of our Holy God (Isaiah 64:6). It is your works of obedience subsequent to your salvation that affirm and validate your confession of Jesus as Lord as true, authentic and it is your desire for obedience to God’s will that substantiates your positioning as “born again” by the Spirit of God (John 3) dwelling within you (Ephesians 1:13-14; John 14:16) as He, the Holy Spirit, walks you in the process of sanctification until your departure from this life within the Realm of Time.

You cannot be saved, your sin will NOT be forgiven, by seeking obedience to a Law or edict or Day or Tradition or Mass but ONLY by grace through faith in the completed work of Jesus Christ at Golgotha (Acts

4:12; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6). “I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.” Galatians 2:21 (NASB)
