Subject: what do you understand by this verse |
Bible Note: In what chapter and verse does the Bible say "Under the Law, the only way to be declared justified is to follow the Law exactly, and precisely"? Chapter and verse, please. Romans 3:20 (ESV) For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. Romans 3:28 (ESV) For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Galatians 2:16 (ESV) yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. "...by works of the law no one will be justified." Do you get it? No one was ever saved by keeping the law perfectly, because no one except Jesus did so. There are not two ways of being saved -- by keeping the law in the OT and then by believing in the NT. Anyone and everyone who was ever saved was saved by faith -- by trusting and believing -- NEVER by keeping the Law. "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness." Romans 4:1-8 (ESV) What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? [2] For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. [3] For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness." [4] Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. [5] And to the one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, [6] just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: [7] "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; [8] blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin." Romans 4:14 (ESV) For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. |
