Please, share this lesson with your family, friends co-worker and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.
Will people who break God’s commandments be saved?
“The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). “To him who knows to do good and does not do it, … it is sin” (James 4:17). “For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins” (Hebrews 10:26).
Answer: We have already learned that sin is the breaking of God’s law, and the result of sin is death. So those who sin will not be saved. According to Romans 3:23, that means everybody: “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” But thank God that is not all!
The latter part of Romans 6:23 goes on to say: “but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” That means “if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1). God forgives anyone who genuinely repents of his sins and accepts Christ’s blood to cover them. Not only that, but Christ then gives anyone who repents the power to overcome sin (1 John 1:9).
"On the road to this change of character, people regularly fall and ask for forgiveness multiple times. God’s mercy covers that: “A righteous man may fall seven times and rise again” (Proverbs 24:16). Hebrews 10:26 though talks about continuous, deliberate sin.
If a person sins repeatedly, ignoring the Holy Spirit’s prompting to re- pent or putting off what he knows he should do, he is in danger of hardening his heart to sin until, one day, he may not want to change his sinful ways or may not even see them as sinful any- more. That’s why it is important that we listen to the Holy Spirit when He says, “Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” (Hebrews 3:7, 8).
Can a person be saved by keeping the law?
“By the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight” (Romans 3:20). “By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2:8, 9).
"Answer: A sinner is not saved by keeping the law. Salvation comes by Christ alone through the gift of His grace; and we receive this gift by faith, not by our works. Besides, no amount of obedience in the future can make up for the sins of the past.
Remember, the law really serves as a mirror that points out our defects. Its purpose is to lead us to see our need of the Savior. Once we see what He has done and is doing for us, we will naturally desire to keep His law.
“If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15).
How should we understand God’s law in the time of the New Covenant?
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them” (Ezekiel 36:26, 27).
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them” (Hebrews 10:16). “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same im- age from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18).
Answer: We by ourselves cannot keep God’s law. But when we see that we are sinful, with an honest and broken heart, we can call out to God for deliverance from sin.
It is then, through the power of the Holy Spirit, that God is able to transform our sin- ful characters to reflect His sinless character! We are given a new heart. We will be able to keep His law fully (1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 5:4).
The beauty of this covenant—called the “new covenant” in Hebrews 8—is that it provides a real solution to the deadly disease of sin. God promises to write His law on our hearts and make us new creatures who keep His commandments. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father’” (Romans 8:14, 15). With the Holy Spirit leading us, we are equipped with divine strength to resist Satan and his influence!
