Obviously the Law must condemn the sinner. Indeed there would be no transgression if there were no law to transgress. Every criminal knows that "the law worketh wrath," and every sinner should know it. The Scriptures abound with testimony to this effect: take your Bible and review the following Scriptures with me: Galatians 3:19; Romans 3:19; Romans 5:20; Romans 7:13; Colossians 2:14; Galatians 3:10; 2 Corinthians 3:9; 2 Corinthians 3:7; 1 Corinthians 15:56. Yet, with all this testimony from the Word of God, men will continue to seek to gain salvation by the works of the Law, approaching God on their terms--which He will never accept. He will not sell justification at any price, certainly not for a few paltry "good" works, offered by men whose entire lives have been corrupted by sin. Romans 4:16 goes on to say: "Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure..." This also the Apostle stresses in his Galatians epistle: "But the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe" Gal. 3:22. All Abraham's seed, both that which is "of the law" and that which is "of the faith of Abraham," will share in the promise made to Abraham, but this has its lesson for us today. If justification were by the works of the Law, rather than by grace, through faith, how could we be sure of it? Depend upon the Law; toil to earn justification, and you will never be sure of acceptance with God. But rest in His promise and your security could not be more complete. What a blessing that God has made salvation accessible through the easiest, simplest, free-est of channels! There is no toil in faith, no effort, and therefore no merit, no boasting--and His Word is a sure foundation to rest upon. It is in view of the foregoing that Verse 16 calls Abraham "the father of us all," i.e., the father of all who simply take God at His Word. Stay tuned...
