For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
Paul puts the "saved not by works, but by grace" statement quickly in its place. My faith upholds the Law, it is the Law applied to my walk as a disciple of Jesus Christ. It defines the national boundaries of the Kingdom of God. It is freedom from the burden of sin and the righteousness, peace and joy of life in the Spirit.
Praise You, my Lord,my Savior, my Master.
