I Love God For He Loved Me First
All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God but we have an advocate
1 John 2:1Amplified Bible (AMP)
Christ Is Our Advocate
2 My little children (believers, dear ones), I am writing you these things so that you will not sin and violate God’s law. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate [who will intercede for us] with the Father: Jesus Christ the righteous [the upright, the just One, who conforms to the Father’s will in every way—purpose, thought, and action].
but how do we know we have fellowship with Christ ,that we actually know Him ?
1 John 2:3 And this is how we know [daily, by experience] that we have come to know Him [to understand Him and be more deeply acquainted with Him]: if we habitually keep [focused on His precepts and obey] His commandments (teachings). 4 Whoever says, “I have come to know Him,” but does not habitually keep [focused on His precepts and obey] His commandments (teachings), is a liar, and the truth [of the divine word] is not in him. 5 But whoever habitually keeps His word and obeys His precepts [and treasures His message in its entirety], in him the love of God has truly been perfected [it is completed and has reached maturity]. By this we know [for certain] that we are in Him: 6 whoever says he lives in Christ [that is, whoever says he has accepted Him as God and Savior] ought [as a moral obligation] to walk and conduct himself just as He walked and conducted Himself.
We keep His commandments ,and by this we know what sin is ,and also what the will of God is ,and in doing so we are perfected ,we know now He dwells in us and He is making us to be the image of Him ,we are coming to maturity as He did
If He is our Saviour we should walk as He walked
but you say God changed His law ,Did He ? or did a man just as foretold in Dan 7:25
you do get John penned this after the cross right ?
Here is what he said about the commandments as an Apostle ,not a disciple
1 John 2:7 Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the message which you have heard [before from us]. 8 On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true and realized in Christ and in you, because the darkness [of moral blindness] is clearing away and the true Light [the revelation of God in Christ] is already shining. 9 The one who says he is in the Light [in consistent fellowship with Christ] and yet [a]habitually hates (works against) his brother [in Christ] is in the darkness until now. 10 The one who [b]loves and unselfishly seeks the best for his [believing] brother lives in the Light, and in him there is no occasion for stumbling or offense [he does not hurt the cause of Christ or lead others to sin]. 11 But the one who habitually hates (works against) his brother [in Christ] is in [spiritual] darkness and is walking in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
If you are His ,you are not hindering the Gospel ,you know the commandments are still of God and our guide ,not works of the flesh to obtain salvation ,but the expressed will of God ,but traditions have crept in ,and taught many otherwise
that is explained in my other post "I love God "
AMP Heb 5:12For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word [from the beginning], and you have come to be continually in need of milk, not solid food.
or as King James puts it
KJ21For at the time when ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God, and have become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
but you need to hear the whole verse to really get it ,not just picking and choosing verses that suit our doctrines
Heb 5:11 Concerning this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull and sluggish in [your spiritual] hearing and disinclined to listen. 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word [from the beginning], and you have come to be continually in need of milk, not solid food. 13 For everyone who lives on milk is [doctrinally inexperienced and] unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a spiritual infant. 14 But solid food is for the [spiritually] mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil.
by now the ones who think they are ready to teach should know better ,but they don't
they have become stumbling blocks ,teaching Gods law ended at the cross
not understanding who started that lie ,or which law did end at the cross
read the other post if you want to know the difference
PS this was the Amplified ,you can compare it with the King James or what ever version you prefer ,the message is clear ,satan has infiltrated the church ,and so have his lies
