"Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
Today's lesson is a short one but it is a very important one seeing that the vast majority of "Christianity" seems to believe that in order to attain, and retain, eternal salvation, a lost soul must live within the limitations of the old Hebrew Law. In other words, we are all responsible for our own sins, ever if we profess to believe that Jesus gave His life to atone for those very sins.
In today's lesson, Paul made it very clear that by following the requirements of the old Law, or, in essence, living without sin sin in the flesh, "there shall no flesh be justified in his sight".
It is imperative that the bible student understand that God makes no such demand on those who are lost. God ONLY requires that a lost soul believe in the life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ.
If a lost soul could possibly live without sin, or lose his/her salvation because of a sin committed after believing in Jesus, there would have been no need for our Savior to die.
The souls of those who believe in Jesus Christ are "SEALED" until the day of redemption, "grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby YE ARE SEALED unto the day of redemption". (Ephesians 4:30)~
