Before Christ, the law defined if one could stand before God blameless. But with Jesus, He makes us able to stand before God with no sin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Without a doubt, we will all stumble over the law. The white lies you tell still count as falling short of the mark. Cheating on taxes means cheating on God. Indulging in food and drink defines gluttony. Jewish law contains 613 commandments people must follow to remain blameless before God. No one can do it, only Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solid foundation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Following Jesus creates a solid foundation for you to walk. You become righteous because of Christ. God knows we need a Savior because we can\u2019t uphold the laws. Therefore, Jesus came to do what we can\u2019t do for ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accept your sinful nature. Stop fighting the natural and accept the supernatural. Allow Jesus to cleanse you from your sin, placing it at the foot of the cross. When you stumble, Christ helps you to your feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus gives you stability in a fallen world. The culture\u2019s constant state of change makes it difficult to find solid ground, but God\u2019s unchanging character provides us with a place to stand. Shifting sands cause unsteady feet, but the rock of Jesus doesn\u2019t move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Become righteous before God by placing your faith in Jesus. Let Him guide you along the path of righteousness, one step at a time. With Jesus, you will walk on a firm foundation, no longer stumbling over laws you can\u2019t keep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [i]<\/a> Strong, J., & Strong, J. (2010).
