Rom 3:27 What, then, is there to boast about? That has been eliminated. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on the principle of faith.
Rom 3:28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith a
part from the works prescribed by the law.
Rom 4:2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he would have had something to boast about-though not before God.
Rom 4:3 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
Rom 4:4
Now to someone who works, wages are not considered a gift but an obligation.
Rom 4:5 H
owever, to someone who does not work, but simply believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.
Rom 4:6 Likewise, David also speaks of the blessedness of the person whom God regards as righteous apart from works:
Rom 11:6 And if by grace, then is it
no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise
work is no more work.
Gal 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and
not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Gal 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
Gal 2:18 For if I
build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
Gal 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the w
orks of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Gal 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Gal 3:4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
Gal 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you,
doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Gal 3:10 F
or as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Gal 3:11 But
that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Gal 3:12
And the law is not of faith:
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 N
ot of works, lest any man should boast.
it 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
i could on and on! what is it about the Word of God that you reject what is written? Do you think you are wiser than He is? stronger? or is the gospel just foolish to you?
1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to
them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1Co 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1Co 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1Co 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, i
t pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 B
ut the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
repent of your unbelief! go to His Cross and tell Him of ALL YOUR GOOD WORKS!
how clear can the scriptures be? and im sorry until you accept the fact that this is by faith! YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE WORKS OF FAITH!
Again ? moses before Abraham!
Gal 5:4 Y

ave been cut off from Christ. You have fallen away from grace.
Gal 5:4 Christ is become of n
o effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
here is four different ways of saying "
you are missing God"! and your own pride and desire to justify yourself by keeping your standard of righteousness! (what ever you call it) is a SIN against His Blood!
Isa 59:1
Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened,
that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy,
that it cannot hear:
Isa 59:2 B
ut your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
Isa 59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
Isa 59:4 N
one calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies;
they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Isa 59:5
They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a
viper.
Isa 59:6
Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works:
their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
Isa 59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed
innocent blood: their thoughts are
thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
Isa 59:8
The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
