What many people fail to realize is that the purpose of the law is to magnify our need for Jesus. Under the law, we all die, since the wages of sin is death. All have fallen short of the glory of God (especially the Pharisees!). God likens self righteousness to filthy rags. So how do we get eternal life if I can’t curry favor with God? The only way to salvation is not through self righteous “good deeds” but through his son Jesus. The gift is freely given and could never be obtained with my works.
Three likes far? Are you people kidding me...
Thanks M.A for sharing your finnest.
