“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets...I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not one yod will by any means disapear from the Law”- JC, Matthew 5:17-18

Why not live by the Law by which all men will be judged? Just a thought.

Romans 5:18-20

18 Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. 19For just as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. 20But law came in, with the result that the trespass multiplied; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21so that, just as sin exercised dominion in death, so grace might also exercise dominion through justification* leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

It’s not up for you or I to pass sentence. Only God can do that. It’s in His capable hands and he doesn’t need anyone’s help.

Legalistic thinking puts the cart before the horse. People are saved FOR good works. No one is saved BY their own good works, unless you believe, as some seem to, that people can acheive the holiness of God if they only work a little harder. If you have caught yourself in a good work perhaps you should think of it as a gift God gave you and not a gift you gave God. We are all beggars before God and no one has anything to brag about.
