"Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses." (2 Corinthians 13:1)
Paul is quoting Deuteronomy to the community in Corinth :
"A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he has committed. Only on the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses shall a charge be established." (Deuteronomy 19:15)
A matter must be established based on two or three testimonies according to scripture. This is our Lord’s standard for all things.
The stone tablets were created for this reason, easily able to fit on one, but given on two as the testimony for or against mankind.
Both condemnation/conviction and exoneration/acquittal require two testimonies upon the day of judgment.
Faithful devotion to Yeshua is ONE ☝🏻of those testimonies.
The other is obedience to His commandments.
Salvation begins and can never be complete without faith and commitment to Messiah, however, that alone does not equate receiving an inheritance of eternal life. It frees you from bondage, it pulls you out of “Egypt,” but your obedience is required to make it over the Jordan into the promised land.
Every human will give an account at the end of the age. Everyone will be required to have both testimonies.
Grace was given at Calvary, and it is there only for those walking in obedience; it is not there to be “perverted” as both Paul and Jude write - used as an excuse for rebellion, carelessness, or lawlessness.
It does not cover knowing and willful sin (Hebrews 6 and 10).
