Should we disregard the old testament?

By From A Friend at 05/29/08 13:01

For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were writen for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Romans15:3-4.

But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Galatians3:23-24.

Besides that are'nt there some wonderful stories. Blessed be the Word of the L ord.

Repentance

Oh how the flesh brings us down; even unto death. The flesh profits nothing! John6:63 Romans8:13 . Because of our sin we become sick and diseased, we completely ignore the need of our spirit; that is to fellowship with God, to become whole, to repent.It's the Spirit of God that leads us to repentance Romans2:4

Do not listen to man. He will lead you to forsake God and to turn you to the world. But the Spirit will not allow it, for the Holy Spirit of God dwells in you! Repent! He will lead you into all Truth......... Jesus Christ.

The Cross

If you believe that Jesus died for you on the cross it does'nt end there, for he was raised for our justification.

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him [Abraham]

But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And not only so, but we glory in tribulation also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; Romans4:23-25 5:1-3

Sin and righteousness

For as by one man's disobedience[Adam] many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one [Jesus] shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law [10 commandments] entered, that the offence might abound [Romans 7:13] . But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Give your sin to Jesus, for only He can deliver you wholly. Romans5:19-21.

Don't deceive yourself into thinking you are righteous and without sin. Only Jesus can make that claim.
