But What About These Verses? |
|
This tract also deals with the difficulty some have with the doctrine of justification by grace through faith alone. However the difficulty factor dealt with in this tract is the one that exists when a person fails to “rightly divide the word of truth” and also fails to honestly deal with the context of a verse or passage. Hence the focus in this tract is upon some verses in the Scripture that people commonly appeal to, thinking that they teach that there are some works after all that must be done in order to be justified in God’s sight. These verses usually come from the portion of the Scriptures pertaining to God’s program with Israel, especially from the Gospel accounts and the book of Acts. In addition they most often pertain to something other than justification unto eternal life, though people commonly fail to realize this due to poor Bible handling. This tract looks at only a few of the more commonly mishandled and misunderstood verses. But in doing this it underscores the fact that justification unto eternal life really is by grace through faith alone, just as “the gospel of Christ” says. |
