Our Christian walk is not so much about what we do but what we are.

That kind of thinking quickly leads to the Gnostic Heresy that says you can do anything because it is just your body doing the abominable things, while your Mind is pure.

The Lord your God is One, and you were made in His image. You can not separate your Faith from your Works.

In the Resurrection, we all get new bodies, and the Law is written on our Hearts.

Jesus said He came to FULFILL the Law, not to end it. He kept the Law because we can’t. When we believe in Him, it is accounted to us for righteousness. The same as with Abraham.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

But demanding works is guaranteed to lead to legalistic religiousity which does no one any good and does not impress God.
