Subject: Will keeping Law yield eternal life? |
Bible Note: Rom 3:20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. Dear Glory, I think this Scripture is clear. God never gave the Law as a means to attain eternal life. No saint, before or after Christ was justified by keeping the Law. All receive eternal life just as Abraham did... by faith, not by works of the Law. Peace, Lionstrong |
