Paul of Tarsus, in his Letters, mentions several times that we are saved by the unearned grace of God, not by our own good works, "lest anyone should boast." He used the term freedom in Christ, for example, Galatians 2:4, and it is clear that some understood this to mean lawlessness. For example, Acts of the Apostles 21:21 records James the Just explaining his situation to Paul:
"They have been told about you that you teach all the Jews living among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, and that you tell them not to circumcise their children or observe the customs." (NRSV)
The early history of Christianity records conflict between Pauline Christianity and the Jerusalem Church led by James the Just, Simon Peter, and John the Apostle, the so-called "Jewish Christians" although in many places Paul writes that he was observant, and that Christians "uphold the Law" (Romans 3:31). In Galatians 2:14, part of the "Incident at Antioch", Paul publicly accused Peter of judaizing. He invariably goes on to say that sins remain sins, and condemns by several examples the kind of behaviour that the church should not tolerate. For example, in 1 Corinthians 7:10–16 he cites Jesus' teaching on divorce ("not I but the Lord") and does not reject it, but goes on to proclaim his own teaching which is different, as he acknowledges ("I say — I and not the Lord"). This confusion is most likely the cause of the statement in 2 Peter 3:16 that some of Paul's Letters are hard to understand and have led many astray.
The Epistle of James, in contrast, states that our good works justify before men our faith after salvation and we are to obey the Law of God, that faith without works is death (2:14–26).
According to the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught:
"Thus you will know them by their fruits. Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?' Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.'" (Matt 7:20–23 NRSV)
The Greek translated as evildoers is ergazomenoi ten anomian or literally workers of lawlessness1. See also Great Apostasy.
In the Gospel of Matthew 24:10–14 (NRSV), Jesus taught:
"Then many will fall away, and they will betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because of the increase of lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations; and then the end will come."
According to the Sermon on the Plain, Jesus taught:
"The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. 'Why do you call me "Lord, Lord", and do not do what I tell you?'" (Luke 6:45–46 NRSV)
1 John 3:4 (NRSV) states:
"Everyone who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness."
See also Matthew 5:17.
