For us to be made righteous, God expects us to 'do' more than just believe. the whole teaching of the OT and up to Christ and his teachings is that the law could never make anyone righteous, that it had the opposite effect. Only God can clothe one in righteousness. We do indeed have a different gospel.

Men live because God wishes to display both both His mercy and His wrath. Graciously, for Christians, "mercy triumphs over judgment" (James 2:13).
