Bible Note: You write: "Grace supplanted work as the answer to finding favor with God...." Did it? Neither work (nor works) nor the deeds of the Law ever were the means to find favor with God. Abraham is cited as an example of justification by faith. Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. Please read carefully Rom 3:28, the first 6 chapters of Romans, and the entire book of Galatians. |
