It is Done

Matthew 5:17–20 ““Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”

The Law is not Abolished

Some have taken this to mean that we still need to follow the letter of the Law.

Not following the letter of the law was one of the reason the religious leaders hated Jesus

Not Washed Hands

Plucking and eating corn on the Sabbath

Healing on the Sabbath

Galatians, Romans, 2 Corinthians

Whoever teaches one to do so

You can do whatever you want

Once Saved always saved

Catholic Confession

Must be more righteous than religious

Showing up on Sunday isn’t enough

Volunteering isn’t enough

You have to Surrender to and live for Christ
