V11. Its clear no one can be made right before God by trying to keep the law....
Then...Why do Christians have so much laws???
Well, one thing for sure, it's not following those laws that saves us.
Nor does laws give us the Holy Spirit.
Believing in God is what's needed to put us right. Just believe, as simple as that. Belief
V19
Q: why, then, was the law given?
A: it was given alongside the promise (of Christ), to SHOW people their sins
That's it... that's all that the law is good for. To show us our flaws. To show our wretchedness and depravity...
There's no honor or glory in trying to obey the law.... no prestige or fame from being a law abiding person
The law is just that, to show our shortcomings. Nothing to be celebrated.
What we celebrate instead is Christ, in Him is the honor, glory and power to save us. Forever and ever. In has been, in the past, the present and days to come. So if one, wants to boast, boast in this: that it is the simple fact of believing in Christ that we're saved. Not the works of man. But God.
