s- so simple it;s so hard to know what faith is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

“since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified.” Later in his epistle to the Romans (Rom. 3:20)

(Ps. 143:2). No “flesh,” no human being from among finite humanity, is capable of generating or effecting righteousness, which is the character of God alone (Ps. 11:7; 119:137,142; I Jn. 2:29; 3:7). No performance of man will make one righteous either objectively or subjectively, forensically or vitally. Paul had tried his hardest to keep the Law in order to be righteous (Phil. 3:4-6), and had to agree with Isaiah (Isa. 64:6) that all such self-effort attempts were futile. The Law (whether in its general Judaic form, or in its more restricted Judaizing form) is “weak through the flesh” (Rom. 8:3), providing no dynamic of grace. It is proposition with no provision, regulation with no resource, document with no dynamic, letter with no life, expression with no energizing – incapable of being the basis of the behavioral expression of God’s righteousness; capable only of exposing man’s inability and his need to discover such in Jesus Christ. arrogance  of self is t aside fully in  grace by faith in Christ alone
