LAW NOT A MEANS OF SALVATION “For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin” (Romans 3:20). “So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith” (Galatians 3:24).

GRATEFUL CHRIST CAME “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes” (Romans 10:4). “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Matthew 5:17).
