Are Works and Sacrifice the Same as Obeying God's Will?
"“If a man love me, he will keep my words....He that loves me not keeps not my sayings” (John 14:23-24).
We all know of the Pharisees. On the outside they sacrificed, expended, and worked hard for God, compassing land and sea to spread the gospel of God, and often reading the scriptures and preaching to the Jewish people. But all their actions contained their own motives and intentions. When they were preaching, they taught people to hold the tradition of men and abandon the commandments of God.
