1. that “faith-responding to the Gospel” intrinsically leads not to a theoretical and fruitless “faith in the Messiah”, as the supreme incarnated prove of God’s redeeming love to the sinners, but it further leads to following all of the moral commandments and spiritual exhortations both from the old and new testament writings, and further more, it leads to moral creativity (which is far more than moral conformism which is mechanically submitting to moral lists in order to achieve moral standards) which is in perfect harmony to God’s moral and spiritual standards as revealed in the whole bible. It is about an inner moral and spiritual spring which proves a real relation and an indwelling of the resurrected Christ (John 7:38-39).

2. the core of the faith-in-Christ based life is the “new being” (2 Chorintians 5:17, Galathians 6:15) “which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him” (2 Chorintians 4:16, Colossians 6:15). That “new man” is the result of the cooperation of the believer with the Holly Spirit of the Lord, to whom he submit consciousely and purposely (Galatians 5:16-25).

3. even though through Christ’s atonement the final consequences of the sin are temporary suspended for the believer, the outcome of his walking or not walking with God is not avoidable: “7.Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8.For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” (Galatians 6).

May the LORD help us live accordingly so we may “inherit the kingdom of God”! (Galatians 5:21) – so “16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. …15.For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” (Hebrews 4)
