Episode notes
Mosaic Law Not Required for Salvation
- The Mosaic Law cannot be a requirement for salvation because its sacrificial system is no longer physically possible to keep.
- Salvation is by faith in Christ alone, as the law points to our need for mercy and forgiveness through Jesus' sacrifice.
Righteousness Comes Through Faith
- Even Israelites under the Mosaic covenant attained righteousness by faith, not by works.
- Pursuing righteousness by law alone causes one to stumble over Christ's sacrifice.
Grace Versus Law
- Grace and law are opposites; justification by law nullifies grace.
- If righteousness came through law, Christ's death would be unnecessary, underscoring faith alone for salvation.
