No. He came to live as an example of how to live perfectly, obeying every single one of the 10 Commandments, that is how He fulfilled them; and to be the final and perfect sacrifice for sin. That all who believed in Him and His life and His sacrifice would be forgiven of all their previous sins and be allowed to now receive His Spirit which assists in following His Ways to obey all Commandments and receive salvation at the end of their physical lives.
Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
The fact that the Holy Spirit is in you means you are saved, brother, for believing in the Lord Jesus Christ 7 that God has raised Him from the dead.
N
o paradox at all. The Scribes and Pharisees were not righteous in the least.
Keeping the Commandments is what people do naturally who love Jesus. Just as Jesus tells us.
John 14:15
In context. if you apply that for all His commandments, then you would never get the Holy Spirit.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
So then this is being important, what are the commadments Jesus was speaking about before verse 15?
John 14:1Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me:
or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
So the commandments as in plural is the repeated commandment to believe Him over and over again to get the Holy Ghost at our salvation.
That is for discipleship in bearing fruit and that our joy may be full so that we may continue in His love when, with His help, we are abiding in Him & His words so that we do not get cut off ( verse 6 ) for when we stop abiding in Him & His words as His disciples. John 15:1-8
If believers are running that race to obtain salvation then they are engaging in dead works that deny Him as their Savior ( Titus 1:16 ) for why they will be denied by Him as disqualified, but even though left behind, He still abides ( 2 Timothy 2:12-13 ) for why when they die, their spirits will be with the Lord in heaven ( 2 Corinthians 5:7-11 & 1 Corinthians 3:10-17 ) awaiting for their resurrection after the great tribulation as vessels of wood and earth, the vessels unto dishonor in His House to serve the King of kings on earth for the 1000 year reign of Christ. 2 Timothy 2:18-21
