TWIG - The Word Is Grace is brought to you by The Carpenter's Shop, located at 1201 East Elmore Street in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Our Sabbath services begin at 3:30 every Saturday afternoon. Listen with us as Bible teachers Jim Denman and Tim Terry examine our faith in Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus), with a Hebraic perspective. What did Jesus eat? How did He dress? Is the Torah still valid to believers today? Did He really say that there are only two laws that we have to follow now? Did God change His requirements for salvation after the cross? Is the Sabbath on Sunday or Saturday; was it changed? Join us as we seek answers to these questions, with balance and a humble reverence for God's Word.

Mon, 22 June 2009  Was Paul's life changed by his own merits? In verse 16 of chapter 2 Paul tells us that "man is not justified by the works of the Law, but by faith in Jesus Christ." Paul was saved by faith in Messiah, yet we see him observing the commandments of Torah... how do we reconcile this? He says himself that man is saved by faith in Messiah, so why would he concern himself with the Law at all?The simple answer: obedience. Paul wanted to be like His Master! Paul knew that to imitate his Master meant to observe the Torah (Law) of God; not in an attempt to get saved, but because he was saved! It is ironic that today, when someone finds out that a growing number of believers are obeying Torah to the best of their ability, they are accused of having "fallen from grace." Paul was the very person who penned those words though! Surely he hadn't fallen from grace by being obeying Torah? Thanks for joining us this week! May the Lord bless you and keep you, Shabbat shalom! Comments[0] |
