And Jesus showed the real standard of god’s law which we can never keep. Yet as a result of being born again a person desires to do good works and does them it is a sign of a living faith. There is a good explanation on faith and works from this website:
]]>Being judged by your fruits goes back to the teaching of Ghrist. We are judged by the product of our lives. Using that yardsikck, we will all fail. but we are still to try. We are to attempt. We are expected and required to obey.
For may years I looked for a magical way, some formula or experience that would remove my wish to sin. I have come to the conclusion that it does not exist here. Obedience is hard — Jesus ised an analogy of taking up ones cross. And I think that much of our current contextualizing and post modernistic exegesis is our strying to rationalize our disobedience, instead of repenting.
