1 Corinthians 1:30-31 NIV"It is Because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God - that is our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: 'let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'"
The truths to bring with you from Chapters 1-3, into Chapters 4-6 are as follows:
Chapter 1 - You played no causal role in being born under the law and sin, and being subjected to unbelief, emptiness, and futility.
Chapter 2 - You played no causal role in being redeemed/rescued from all of the above through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Chapter 3 - You play(ed) no causal role in being persuaded/given faith to believe what you hear from God.
In summary: You Have Nothing To Do With It
Now, in Chapters 4-6, I demonstrate how today's Christian/Catholic orthodoxy teaches a false gospel by insisting you have everything to do with it.
Chapter 4 addresses this "problem" in 2 parts:
- Part 1 – A brief, but concise explanation of what "the law" means in the context of the NT.
- Part 2 – Exposing the Christian/Catholic "gospel" message for what it is, "the law for rigtheousness."
