“If Righteousness Before God Is By Promise – Why The Law?”

Genesis 15:1-21; Galatians 3:15-4:7

If people want to inherit the promises God gave to Abraham, it won’t be based on moral performance.

Our inheritance must depend on something far superior.

It won’t be based on how well we keep the law which can never achieve righteousness. 

The law shows us that we are imprisoned by sin and that anyone who depends on law keeping for righteousness is under a curse because they cannot keep the law. 

It isn’t possible to keep the law!

If we can’t be made righteous by keeping the law, why was the law given?
