Skeptic-Legalist asked: “No one keeps the Commandments but Jesus?”

No one, no one born of Adam’s seed (Romans 5:12) keeps the Commandments (Romans 3:23), if that were possible, Jesus died in vain (Galatians 2:21).

Righteousness, a right standing with Elohim, mandates “perfection” in word, thought, deed, in order to appease Elohim’s wrath for sin; this, the very reason Messiah entered Time apart from Adam’s seed (the seed of the woman), walked in sinless perfection before the Father and humanity, gave Himself as blood atonement for sin (to destroy the works of Satan, 1 John 3:8b) and the Father interceded via New Covenant promise and agreed to impute, gift, the sinless perfection of Jesus over the life of anyone who trusts in Messiah as their propitiation for the Adamic initiated sin-debt (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12).

Through this New Covenant promise, those who trust in Jesus are made “positionally” right with the Father; that is, the Father agrees to only see the perfection, righteousness, of His dear Son in the redeemed in Jesus, not their sin; this New Covenant promise pacifies the Father’s wrath and permits entrance into the Kingdom, a divine Kingdom where “nothing impure is permitted to exist” (Rev 21:27).

Commandment keeping is not an element of salvation nor do the Commandments, Moses, Days, Diets, have relevance in daily Christian sanctification as it is the Holy Spirit that conforms the human conscience of the redeemed to pursue the production of divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) and it is the “fruit” that fulfills the intent of all moral law; it is divine fruit that actually pleases the Father and proves one to be a disciple of Jesus (John 15:8).
