Well at least we have found common ground. The law does not justify us. That is not its job! The law points out sin. That’s all. It cannot save. It can only condemn. Grace saves. The Blood of Christ saves. But it is the law which tells me what a miserable sinner I am and how much I need Jesus. Otherwise I might feel pretty good about myself or my church or my puny efforts to be good.

We agree after all!
