9 Bible Verses about Justification Is Not By The Law

know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared free from guilt.

For on the ground of obedience to Law no man living will be declared righteous before Him. Law simply brings a sure knowledge of sin.

For we maintain that it is as the result of faith that a man is held to be righteous, apart from actions done in obedience to Law.

It is evident, too, that no one can find acceptance with God simply by obeying the Law, because "the righteous shall live by faith,"

Christ has become nothing to any of you who are seeking acceptance with God through the Law: you have fallen away from grace.

and in Him every believer is absolved from all offences, from which you could not be absolved under the Law of Moses.

For if he was held to be righteous on the ground of his actions, he has something to boast of; but not in the presence of God.

I do not nullify the grace of God; for if acquittal from guilt is obtainable through the Law, then Christ has died in vain."

So that the Law has acted the part of a tutor-slave to lead us to Christ, in order that through faith we may be declared to be free from guilt.
