Our Only Promise - Audio

Deuteronomy 27:26 says, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do,” what? “EVERYTHING written in the Book of the Law!” How many things? Everything. There is no pick and choose! If the Law says: “Keep me to be counted righteous,” and you say, “Okay, I’ll pick and choose. It says not to eat pork, I won’t eat pork. It says keep the Sabbath, I’ll go to church on Sunday and convince myself that’s what it means to keep the Sabbath. It says practice these festivals, I’ll keep these festivals. Oh. It says go to Jerusalem. I can’t afford the air fare. And it says go to the Temple. There is no more Temple in operation today. Well, we’ll skip those and God will understand.” Okay but who’s the decider on what laws I should keep, and which laws I should not keep? And what do we do with scary passages like Deuteronomy 27:26 which says if I don’t keep all the Laws I’m cursed? Because are we not saying that we need to keep the Law to be saved?
