RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW
We cannot be saved by law by doing of our own “For
Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which
doeth those things shall live by them.” (Rom 10: 5) If righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
(Gal. 2:21). If a law could have given us life, then God would have given us
such a law. (Gal 3: 21) All a law can do is set forth requirements and
prescribe penalties for failure. Since we all fell in Adam the law cannot give
us life. We never achieve perfect obedience in this life so we can never look
to law for righteousness, even after we are brought to faith in Christ. The law has no part whatsoever in making a
sinner the righteousness of God.
