The law cannot save you, Only Jesus can
Hey, I just heard something this morning and it hit me like lightning. The law was not given to save us. For those who claim that by obeying the ten commandments they will be saved, I like to refer them to Romans 8:3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.
Now I understand better the verse which talks about the law being a schoolmaster teaching us right from wrong. The teacher was not given in order to save us. It was given to lead us to the true Saviour. Thanks be to the Lord for Galatians 3:24 - Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
