How can people claim to be Christian if they aren't willing to carry out God's will?
Romans 7:6
"But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code. "
We as Christians have died to the law of sin and death and are born again to a living hope.
John 1:17
"For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."
Galatians 5:4
"For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God's grace."
God will judge those outside the church, that's not our job. But we SHOULD judge those within the church, as it is written "purge the wicked from among you" and not to associate with anyone who claims to be Christian but continues to walk in darkness (1 Corinthians 5:11)
