The Curse Of The Law Series
Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 6, 2018 (message contributor)
Summary: Only perfect performance could win divine approval under the Law, but since that was not achievable the Law could only condemn a person (James 2.10) and cause him to cast himself on God in faith.
Through the Law there never could be salvation; but thanks be to God, he found a way. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the door. He is salvation. Without Him all men are hopelessly lost. The only way you or I will ever stand before God guiltless and hear Him say, “Enter thou in to the joys of thy Lord,” will be through the merit of Jesus, not by our righteousness” (Isa. 64.6).
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3.5).
