The Battle of Works vs. Grace

The greatest battle in Christianity is works vs. grace, or as is described in Romans 10:1-13, law vs. faith. Paul’s focus in chapter 10 is the means by which mankind may receive the righteousness of God. In this passage, Paul defends faith over works from the Old Testament as well as from the person and work of Jesus. If Paul is right, and he is, there is only one way to become righteous before God and it is all about God, not about mankind’s futile attempts to earn righteousness. Once we grasp the decisive nature of Christ’s saving work, writes Dr. Leon Morris, we see the irrelevance of all legalism.’

Make time to study Romans 10:1-13 at crimsonministries.org under the Books of the Bible tab. The importance of knowing how one may receive the righteousness of God is too important to get wrong. There is heaven to gain and hell to lose.
