Bible Note: For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Romans 3:28 (ESV) Searcher: You write "Counting on the Torah for salvation is worthless". When you put it that way I must reply with a hearty AMEN! Romans 4:2-3 (ESV) 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." Romans 3:27-31 (ESV) Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. [28] For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. [29] Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, [30] since God is one. He will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. [31] Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law. Grace to you, Kalos |
