“Man is reconciled to God through the work of Christ on the Cross.”

Man is reconciled to G-d, by loving him and blessing His Name, and refraning from profanation. How does one do that? By following His Law.

I only know of one man throughout all human history who successfully obeyed His Law in all thinking, decisions and action, throughout his life.

In regards to legalism, it wasn’t obedience to legalism which God found to be righteous in Abraham, but instead it was the faith of Abraham in Him which was accredited to him as righteousness, allowing a fellowship to occur.

The Law simply shows us our inability to achieve righteousness through obedience because we don’t obey.

Once we have faith through Him and walk in fellowship with Him, getting rid of the natural man by placing faith through Him in all things, we then live in obedience to the Law. So just as it was written He didn’t come to take away the Law, but to fulfill it, yet still today a New Covenant has been formed and sealed by His blood wherein all things are allowed, but not necessarily expedient.

BTW, since His SHEM refers to His meaning, while one might type a word referencing Him, taking His name in vain is more exemplified by those who deny Him and His Plan. Those who deny our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, the very object of faith in our worship of God, by which no man may have fellowship with God, are actually guilty of taking his name in vain.

Throughout the Torah are types of Christ for our understanding of what He provides.

Most people’s frustrations are due to reality not complying with their previous thinking of how the disordered environment might be better ordered. I’d encourage others to place their thinking in His hands through faith in what He has provided and allow Him to grow us accordingly.
