The Law Can't Save-But Grace Does!

Mormons, Muslims, and moralistic atheists all share the belief that law can perfect us, but Christians don't. Christians know that the law can't save us; what we need is a Savior. We need a Savior because every one of us has already demonstrated that we don't respond well to rules (Rom 3:23). We've been given a perfect law (Rom 7:12) but none of us--no, not one--has obeyed it (Rom 3:10)....In light of our dismal record, it should be obvious that our salvation and the salvation of our children must come from someone else. This person has to give us something other than more rules to obey. But what else is there? There is grace. And what he brings us is simply that--grace....Our salvation (and our kids' as well) is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Grace alone (Elyse Fitzpatrick & Jessica Thompson, Give Them Grace, 16-17).
