Under the law or Saved by Grace?, Faith or?

Some teach that we're not under the law, but are saved by grace instead, and that statement alone is very misleading for those who do not properly understand what grace is, or for what the law is for. Some say that the law is for the Jews, and we're not under the Old Testament "Tanach", then some say we're save by faith.

It's true that everything starts with faith, and faith without works is dead (James 2:20-26)

We can't create our own set of rules unto salvation. We can't put our faith in and follow after mankind, or after some manmade denominational salvation standards. We must believe and do what the Word of Yahweh says, for there is no other way unto becoming saved (John 14:6, Prov 3:5)

Some add that Yahshua already fulfilled the law for us, and we don't need to keep it anymore. They are highly mistaken and will fall under judgment for leading anybody astray (Mark 9:42)

It's true that Yahweh offers us grace in order to be saved, but He didn't automatically grant grace "pardon" to everybody for all past and future sins. Yahshua also taught that we must be born again. Salvation has to be earned, received and kept. Yahweh isn't going to force anybody to be saved. Without Him offering us grace, we would have no hope, and would die in our sins, and many will die in their sins and miss out on receiving Yahweh "salvation".

It's also true that we are not justified by the law, but if we break the laws after becoming born again then we will be harshly judged. Keeping the laws alone will not save anybody because everyone has already sinned and broken the whole law, and fallen short of the glory of Yahweh.

If we say we have fellowship with Yahweh while we walk in darkness (sin), then we lie and do not live according to the truth (1st John 1:6)

Is the law for the Jews? Yahshua was Jewish and he is the head of the one true body. He kept the laws, and to also show us how to walk as he walked. He did not come to remove the laws as many falsely teach. If you look carefully at the scriptures you will see that Yahweh repeatedly gave the laws to the Children of Israel "see Exod, Lev and more", and both Jews and Gentiles lived in Israel. But what you will see it isn't just the land Israel.

Abraham kept the laws too. Gal 3:29 And if you are the Messiah's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Israel was to be a light to all nations. Take a closer look at "who" Israel is: ISA 49:2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me; 49:3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. 49:4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with YAHWEH, and my work with my Elohim. 49:5 And now, saith YAHWEH that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of YAHWEH, and my Elohim shall be my strength. 49:6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

Who is Israel in the above scripture that's talking?

We all know the land of Israel doesn't bring Yahweh salvation, so it must be a spiritual Israel.
We also see it's Yahweh's right hand/arm that brings to Him salvation (Psa. 98:1-3, Psa. 44:1-3, Isa. 33:1-2, Isa 59:16, Ex 6:6)
Yahshua is seated in Yahweh's right hand (Eph 1:20, Col 3:1)
It's Yahshua who is the light sent unto all nations (John 8:12), and whoever abides in him shall not abide in darkness "sin" (John 12:46)
It's Yahshua who was formed in the womb to be Yahweh's servant (Mat 1:20)
It's Yahshua who's teachings are the sharp sword (Eph 6:17, Luke 2:34-35, Rev 19:13, John 14:10)
Yahshua is Yahweh's firstborn son, and so is Israel (Ex 4:22-23)
Yahshua is our King, so is Israel (Isa 43:15)
It's Yahshua whom is in the right arm of Yahweh (Jn. 12:35-41) , and he will return in the right hand of power (Mat 26:64, Lu 22:69).

We are the restored Israel, we are the spiritual Israel, and as living stones that build up this spiritual house/place (1Pet 2:4-7), being members of one another (Rom 12:5). Yahshua is the corner stone that we build on, and the New Jerusalem is the Mother of us all (GA 4:26). WE WHO ARE IN YAHSHUA ARE ISRAEL, AND THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD (Mat 5:14)

When we became born again, we were grafted in (Rom 11:16-21).

Yahweh is reaching His right hand out to us, so that we might come to Him "Salvation" through Yahshua. So call us Jews, or Israelites, but we are the Children of Yahweh who have taken hold of His right hand where Yahshua is seated. The laws were given so we can abide in the truth, and to repent from sin, and to know what all sin is.
