Holiness and the Law without the Love of God in their hearts was a BIG PART of Israels Stumbling Against Christ......share freely....deno.

       Romans 10:1-13) Paul wrote...Brethren, My hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is that Israel might be saved....Israel on the most part had rejected Jesus as the Christ, and refused to believe that Jesus was Gods Son despite all the massive massive miracles and healings God performed thru His Son thru those 3 years. They crucified the Lord of glory in their rejection of him. They were a religious people. They were lovers of Moses and Isaiah and all the prophets and all their laws and words. Their elders strove to live separated lives holy unto the Lord but they were quick to criticize you if you broke the holy commandments. They were Law of God lovers, and Law of God keepers, and Law of God enforcers, but Jesus read their mail and said in JOHN 5:42) ...He said....I know that Gods love is not in you. There's Your Sign.
        Personal holiness, personal consecration and sanctification unto God by your works of the commandments of Moses in your mind will not SAVE YOU if the love of God is not IN YOU (Hello)( 1st John 3:14-15). And the only way Gods love gets inside you is by being born again in your spirit, in the hidden man of the heart, and thru Christ in you thru the Spirit of God. And God gives us the Spirit by faith in Jesus Christ and not by the deeds of the Law that He gave Moses, for by the deeds of the Law shall no flesh be justified in Gods sight. (Galations 3:1-13). You need Christ and you need Him not in your head as only in your thought life but in your heart thru the Spirit in spirit in Christ redemption Mix. (The redemption Mix is found in John 17:20-26).
       Israel had the laws and they strove to obey them unto holiness, but rejecting Christ they could not be born again by faith (Circumcised in their hearts in the spirit), nor receive the Holy Spirit thru faith in Christ. They had holiness under the Law but the love of God was NOT IN THEM, in their hearts. Remember friends, without Gods love all that said in 1 Corinthians 13:1-3.profits us nothing, Even so all those Laws that we strive to keep in personal sanctification unto holiness if we have not Christ and Gods love in us IT ALSO PROFITS US NOTHING.
       Lord Jesus, Light of the world, forgive me, I believe you are Gods Son, the Christ and that you died for my sins and rose again for my salvation and sure hope thru grace. Come Lord Jesus save me from my sins,, change my heart, I open my heart to you. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and Love and teach me to love you more and others more daily and walk in newness of life and spirit forevermore in the faith that is of you Lord Jesus....Amen. .....deno.....share freely.

REMEMBER THE REDEMPTION MIX...John 17:20-26.
