Jesus says you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. He said this speaking to the Pharisees and Jews of his day. Today only a small percentage of practicing Jews keep the law but that's also true with Christianity! Yet Jesus said, I have not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill them.
Paul similarly says What shall we say then is the law sin?
You might think so if you listen to contemporary religionists of our day. Religionists would have you believe it's sin to keep the commandments! But Paul says certainly NOT! I would not have known what sin is except for the law.
We are told in Revelation that those Christians who do not worship the beast will be obeying God's commandments. We are told that Satan makes war with Christians who keep God's Commandment and in Revelation 22:14, Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. These are the Christians I hope to be among. This is why I am a legalistic Christian.
