The saints are the "bricks" built upon the foundation (v.9). The foundation is not multi-facited. It is Jesus Christ.

I know the foundation is not multi-facted- Jesus is in His Person and work.

The foundation is multi-faceted and centered upon the Person and work of Christ.

you seem to think or imply at the Judgment Seat of Christ its only about evangelism. That premise of yours ten went into the foundation and that there is much more to the foundation than evangelism. The works we are judged for are not only about evangelism. I pointed out evangelism was not even in the text. And now we went down this rabbit hole. There is more to the foundation than evangelism. Christ is the foundation which includes all His teachings and that of the Apostles who laid the foundation for the church and its doctrines concerning Christ.

It does? So you can keep Gods law perfectly?

Are you holy as God is holy?

Are you capable of responding to a post using context?

I don't reply to silly questions.

 

[GodsGrace]

No? Your law free? The 10 commandments are no longer applicable?

Christ said to keep the commandments to enter into eternal life. Can you do that?

Here's what the NT teaches about the commandments:


1 John 5:2-3
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.

If someone finds Jesus' commandments burdensome,,,he should stop to reflect.

 

[GodsGrace]

Yup, in Christ absolutely.

You don't seem to catch the point Presby.

IF God is commanding you to be holy....
this must mean that God does not DECREE you to be holy.....

because IF He was decreeing you to be holy,,,
it would be UNNECESSARY for Him to command it.

IOW,,,YOU are being holy because you WANT to be holy....
NOT because God decreed from the beginning of time that you should be holy.

A simple concept.
