- Paul's Epistle To The Romans:
-A freely received gift and an earned wage are mutually exclusive concepts (Romans 4:4).
-Justification in the sight of God is not earned as a result of what one has done, but is received with the empty hand of Faith (Romans 4:5).
-Abraham was declared righteous on the basis of his faith rather than his circumcision (Romans 4:9-12). Faith is contrasted with circumcision, which is a type of good work.
-The promise of God to Abraham and his descendants comes not through the Law but by faith (Romans 4:13).
-The promises of God to those who have faith would be made of no effect if righteousness came through the Law (Romans 4:14).
-The promises of God to those who have faith would be made of no effect if righteousness came through the Law (Romans 4:14).
-Faith is consistent with grace in order that the promises of God to Abraham and his descendants be brought to fulfillment (Romans 4:16). The Law brings forth condemnation (Romans 4:15).
- Paul's Epistle To The Galatians:
-The Holy Spirit is received by faith and not by "works of the Law" or "the flesh" (Galatians 3:2-3).
-Those who rely on faith, not the works of the Law, are regarded as children of Abraham in the sight of God (Galatians 3:6-9).
-Dependence on the works of the Law for salvation brings about a curse (Galatians 3:10-14).
-The inheritance that we receive through the promises of God depends on His grace and not Law (Galatians 3:15-18).
- Paul's Epistle To The Ephesians:
-We have been saved by grace through faith and not as a result of works (Ephesians 2:8-9).
- Paul's Epistle To The Philippians:
-We receive righteousness from God on the basis of faith and not by deeds performed in the flesh (Philippians 3:8-9).
- Paul's Second Epistle To Timothy:
-We are saved and called to glorify God by His grace through our faith in Him and not because of our works (2 Timothy 1:9).
- Paul's Epistle To Titus:
-We are saved by the grace and mercy of God, not on the basis of our works (Titus 3:5).
-We become heirs having the hope of eternal life on the basis of grace (Titus 3:7).
