“But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.” Galatians 3:11-12 KJV
Romans 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. We give the Lord our God all the glory 1 Corinthians 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. God bless you my brother in Christ
I agree. I also think most churches entertwine or combine being saved with service (works). But everything the Bible says about service (commands that Jesus gives us) is about our accountability not about our salvation. If i choose to sin tomorrow does it compromise my salvation? No, of course not. I will, however, face certain consequences for said sin that i commit. Where am i getting with all this? The only thing that matters is that you believe Jesus Christ died on the cross at Calvary for the atonement of sin, was buried for three day, and is risen from the dead. My test i give to any church that I may consider to attend is 1)do they love the Gospel (the true gospel). 2)do they love their neighbors. 3)do they have a humble attitude. (This is my test for the leadership of a church)
The reason they confuse salvation is because they arent saved. If you cannot comprehend the simplicity of the Gospel of Christ then you are not saved. If you cannot explain how to be simply saved by faith in Jesus then you are proving that you dont believe. It doesn't matter how many works you do. Matthew 7:21-23
Actually all mainline churches teach that salvation is by grace. The difference is that 99% of churches actually read the gospel which commands specific behavior.
@@lchimenz so that’s actually an example of how works and faith are inseparable. Believe AND love. Also “believe” in Koine doesn’t mean intellectually assent, it means live in faithfulness. So when the New Testament says “believe,” the Greek is really saying something more like, “live in faithfulness with Jesus.” Also read the book of James. Faith without works is dead and does not save. That’s what the Bible teaches.
@@jmariagarciaI see you forgot Ephesians 2:8-9 we are saved by grace through faith. Now I will explain to you why it’s not by works or any other means because a person can be on their deathbed and receive Jesus Christ. They will be saved.
Jesus warned us about the churches and their teachings. Jonathan Kleck is the angel of the church of Philadelphia. He has been given the unsealed scroll and the keys. Make sure you have the keys to the kingdom of heaven that Jesus gave to Peter, Matt 16:19, so you can get BACK home. We don't belong, 1Peter 2:11, in satan's kingdom, 2Cor 4:4.
Thats crazy, it seems then that all churches were wrong for 1500 year!! I guess Jesus was wrong when he said the gates wouldn't overcome the church. They overcame it right after the apostles I guess. No. This is a new doctrine which was instituted in the 15th century. The Church never believed this. Come to Christ, come to the original Church, come to Orthodoxy.
Calvinists and Free Gracers make the same fundamental logical mistake, this is why they both accuse each other of back loading works. They insist that if action X produces result Y that necessarily means it was merited. This is a non sequitur. There is such a thing as a non meritorious work, an action that produces a result without earning it, such as receiving a gift. Now despite arguing this, Free Grace allows a "one little bitty mini-work" of free will acceptance of the Gospel message (unless you are a Calvinist Free Gracer of course, usually called Sovereign Grace to distinguish). And if the Free Gracer allows it for their one initial fire and forget, one and done, mini-work, then they are being self-contradictory to their own position, because a free will acceptance contradicts their inserted assumption, their presupposition, that contingent actions are necessarily being done as an attempt to merit. They've done gone and earned their salvation with the "work" of accepting Christ through free will! So the Calvinist responds, "What makes you different than the person who chose not to accept Christ? Are you smarter, wiser and holier than your fellow man? Then you are boasting in your works, what you've chosen." That free will decision is something you DO, it's an act of the WILL, it's an action. By the exact same logic being used, this must necessarily be a work added to the merit of Christ, no matter how small, and it is dependent upon what the person does (acceptance). And indeed, if you've spent any time with hardcore Calvinists, you will find them arguing this exact same logic with Free Gracers, that the Free Gracers try to use against them, in a strange twist of ironic fate, since they are both making the same logical error-that an action resulting in a response necessarily has to be an attempt at meriting it. You can try to say "but faith is not a work," however you are special pleading, and using something that fits the exact same definition of others things you critique as "works." One could just as well rebut "sanctification isn't a work, either." Receiving the gift does not earn the gift, yet something must be done-reach out, grab it, unwrap it, use it-if you define all that as "works salvation," then logically you MUST eliminate ALL free will altogether as that will be the only PURE form of grace, eliminating ALL works (under that false definition), and having God actually and truly "do it all." And so we see that we can have Jesus merit our salvation for us and still put requirements on us for receiving it, without running into any contradiction or logical dilemma, as this is a conditional payment, a payment fully made, undeserved, yet still with conditions added (even if just a basic "yes" to Jesus' free gift at a minimum). Otherwise you are a self-contradicting mess when you accuse others of works salvation while allowing your own free will decision to be the effective agent in procuring Christ's salvation.
so your a universal reconciliationist or what's your conclusion to this ,??? I would Just say as far as my salvation Jesus did 99% and I did 1% as far as atonement goes Christ did it all! our choice then is there's no free will ! or we do have a tiny percentage of responsibility for our salvation , or to some how say believing is not a work
@@wolfwatchers My conclusion is to stop mocking and belittling James 2 and all the Biblical warnings of apostasy, and take it for what it says, and that it harmonizes with grace. We have to do something to obtain salvation, we have to show our faith in Christ, but it's not sinless perfection, and it's not a standard of obligation, it's grace-empowered faith. It's works of Faith not works of Law. If I said you had to push a button to be saved, would you be terrified you couldn't do it and call it works? No, God's grace will always give us anything and everything he requires. Universalism is an evil lie, Calvinism is an evil lie, Free Grace is an evil lie.
@@Dizerner James was not to or for the body of Christ he tells us exactly who hes writing to in James 1:1 and its not the body where there is neither jew or gentile!

And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.
@@wolfwatchers Do NOT believe the lies of Free Grace Theology, Scripture is crystal CLEAR you must keep the faith: by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you- (1 Cor. 15:2 NKJ) For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, (Heb. 3:14 NKJ) if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard (Col. 1:23 NKJ)
That is the problem, you say your NOT any different, truth is YOU SHOULD BE DIFFERENT ! You should be the LIGHT in the Darkness. God is not just looking for people to believe in him, the word says that even DEMONS Believe and they tremble. Its not about doing good works to get into Heaven, but good works SHOULD follow ! YOU SHOULD BE DIFFERENT IF YOUR A BORN AGAIN SPIRIT FILLED BELIEVER, .WE ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE THE WORLD ! STOP TAKING ONE PART OF THE BIBLE AND NEGATING OTHER PARTS OF IT. THE WORD SAYS YOU WERE CREATED FOR GOOD WORKS ! DID YOU THINKL GOD SAVED YOU SO YOU COULD JUST SIT ON THE SIDE LINE AND BELIEVE IN HIM? NO... BECAUSE THAT IS NOT THE PATTERN FOR SALVATION ! JESUS CHRIST IS LOOKING FOR DISCIPLES ! AND NO , YOU SHOULD NOT BE CUSSING , YOU SHOULD BE DIFFERENT ! I AM NOT TALKING SELF RIGHTEOUS , JUST SAYING YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS , BECAUSE THESE THINGS KEEP YOUR GARMENTS UNSPOTTED AND CLEAN . PURSUING HOLINESS BROTHER. Sorry did not mean to use caps lol if you disagree then that's fine but that is what i know to be true !
And another thing too, Jesus did not die for the demons He died for humans... Demons cannot believe and receive the gift of salvation. Redemption Was not made for the demons it was made for mankind.
Yes in order to be saved you must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ but we are also told many times especially by paul that you would produce good works in keeping with salvation. A good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree no fruit. The two go hand in hand. This is really to only way we can tell. You look young. You should study some more. The Bible also tells us to study to show thyself approved.
We can be assured of our Salvation as believers by actually believing the Gospel! It’s about who we believe in and what He did! And believing it! It’s not about what we do. This young man knows what he’s talking about. Believers are to count themselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
@@christinagrant3252 No, I believe that salvation is given to all of us as a free gift from Jesus which is lacking nothing, and not dependent on our righteous deeds. However, it's up to us to receive and maintain that gift. Like any free gift we have the ability to accept, neglect, or reject it. The reception and maintenance of that gift requires faith, love, repentance, and good deeds on our part. We will fail miserably, but we have to try our best and remain vigilant until the end. God's grace will take care of the rest
Most churches teach that it's all grace and nothing else. They also teach that the old testament is gone away with (oh but except that tithing thing that part stays(cherry picking)). The issue with this is that people continue in sin and aren't actually repenting. We are saved by grace through faith by believing in Yeshua (Jesus). Once we are saved we are to live by YHUH's Spirit and stop sinning. Sin is transgression of the law which would mean that if we want to stop sinning then we are to keep YHUH's laws. I have a list of scriptures which I can post below. But the point is we aren't saved by works at all, we are saved by believing Yeshua and if we love Him we will keep His commandments.
« 13. (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. » Romans 2:13 KJV « 6. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. » Matthew 18:6 KJV « 6. For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. » Malachi 3:6 KJV « 14. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. » (This was refering to passover) Exodus 12:14 KJV
« 17. And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. » Exodus 12:17 KJV « 23. For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. 24. And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. » Exodus 12:23-24 KJV « 16. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. » Exodus 31:16-17 KJV
« 18. To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. 19. The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. » Psalms 103:18-19 KJV Matthew 7:22-23 BSB [22] Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ [23] Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’ Matthew 8:3-4 BSB [3] Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. [4] Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.” « 17. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22. But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. » Matthew 5:17-22
« 1. Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2. Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4. For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6. And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8. This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. » Matthew 15:1-9 KJV « 17. And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19. Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21. Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. » Matthew 19:17-22 KJV
« 36. Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38. This is the first and great commandment. 39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. » Matthew 22:36-40 KJV Matthew 23:2-4 BSB [2] “The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. [3] So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. [4] They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Matthew 23:23 BSB [23] Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. « 32. And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: 33. And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 34. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question. » Mark 12:32-34 KJV « 25. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26. He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27. And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. Luke 10:25-28 KJV Luke 11:27-28 KJV [27] And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. [28] But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. Luke 11:42 BSB [42] Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.
Saying you need to do works to be saved is the same thing as saying that what Jesus Christ did wasn't good enough.
“But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.”

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.
@@wolfwatchers Do NOT believe the lies of Free Grace Theology, Scripture is crystal CLEAR you must keep the faith:
by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you- (1 Cor. 15:2 NKJ)
For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, (Heb. 3:14 NKJ)
if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard (Col. 1:23 NKJ)
Yes we are guilty of all of it not some it or most
That is the problem, you say your NOT any different, truth is YOU SHOULD BE DIFFERENT ! You should be the LIGHT in the Darkness. God is not just looking for people to believe in him, the word says that even DEMONS Believe and they tremble. Its not about doing good works to get into Heaven, but good works SHOULD follow ! YOU SHOULD BE DIFFERENT IF YOUR A BORN AGAIN SPIRIT FILLED BELIEVER, .WE ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE THE WORLD ! STOP TAKING ONE PART OF THE BIBLE AND NEGATING OTHER PARTS OF IT. THE WORD SAYS YOU WERE CREATED FOR GOOD WORKS ! DID YOU THINKL GOD SAVED YOU SO YOU COULD JUST SIT ON THE SIDE LINE AND BELIEVE IN HIM? NO... BECAUSE THAT IS NOT THE PATTERN FOR SALVATION ! JESUS CHRIST IS LOOKING FOR DISCIPLES ! AND NO , YOU SHOULD NOT BE CUSSING , YOU SHOULD BE DIFFERENT ! I AM NOT TALKING SELF RIGHTEOUS , JUST SAYING YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS , BECAUSE THESE THINGS KEEP YOUR GARMENTS UNSPOTTED AND CLEAN . PURSUING HOLINESS BROTHER. Sorry did not mean to use caps lol if you disagree then that's fine but that is what i know to be true !
1 John 3:23 "And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment."
Alright, I guess I gotta keep 613 commandments perfectly and no mess ups, because apparently I can be a perfect person and not mess up once 🤦🏻♂️
You do know that we're all humans, and we ALL sin every day. YOU do too
If what you are saying is true, then nobody could be saved. Everybody would go to hell.
And another thing too, Jesus did not die for the demons He died for humans... Demons cannot believe and receive the gift of salvation. Redemption Was not made for the demons it was made for mankind.
Yes in order to be saved you must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ but we are also told many times especially by paul that you would produce good works in keeping with salvation. A good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree no fruit. The two go hand in hand. This is really to only way we can tell. You look young. You should study some more. The Bible also tells us to study to show thyself approved.
We can be assured of our Salvation as believers by actually believing the Gospel! It’s about who we believe in and what He did! And believing it! It’s not about what we do. This young man knows what he’s talking about. Believers are to count themselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
@@christinagrant3252 if you believe the Gospel you will follow it. If you don’t follow it then you don’t believe it.
@@christinagrant3252 Yes it is also about what we do! We will be judged according to our deeds
@@jarueb So do you believe that salvation is given to a person or not given to a person based on what they do?
@@christinagrant3252 No, I believe that salvation is given to all of us as a free gift from Jesus which is lacking nothing, and not dependent on our righteous deeds. However, it's up to us to receive and maintain that gift. Like any free gift we have the ability to accept, neglect, or reject it. The reception and maintenance of that gift requires faith, love, repentance, and good deeds on our part. We will fail miserably, but we have to try our best and remain vigilant until the end. God's grace will take care of the rest
Most churches teach that it's all grace and nothing else. They also teach that the old testament is gone away with (oh but except that tithing thing that part stays(cherry picking)). The issue with this is that people continue in sin and aren't actually repenting. We are saved by grace through faith by believing in Yeshua (Jesus). Once we are saved we are to live by YHUH's Spirit and stop sinning. Sin is transgression of the law which would mean that if we want to stop sinning then we are to keep YHUH's laws. I have a list of scriptures which I can post below. But the point is we aren't saved by works at all, we are saved by believing Yeshua and if we love Him we will keep His commandments.

And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. »

[22] Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ [23] Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’

« 17. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22. But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. »
Matthew 5:17-22
« 1. Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2. Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4. For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6. And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8. This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. »
Matthew 15:1-9 KJV
« 17. And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19. Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21. Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. »

Matthew 23:2-4 BSB
[2] “The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. [3] So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. [4] They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Matthew 23:23 BSB
[23] Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
« 32. And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: 33. And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 34. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question. »

And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
