Subject: Will keeping Law yield eternal life? |
Bible Note: "So, keeping the law, for the right motive (faith and love for the Lord)would gain them eternal (life)." Glory 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." Paul Dear Glory, Unfortunately words are the only things we have to communicate with in the forum. And although you add the phrase "for the right motive (faith and love for the Lord)," your words are still that one gains eternal life by keeping the law. And this is directly opposed to what the Scripture teaches, that "a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law." Rom. 3:28. Your wording says eternal life is by faith AND keeping the law.
