Misplaced Reliances

"There has been a salvation-historical switch from the covenant of the law to the covenant of grace so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. The works of the law have been replaced by faith as the only standard for righteousness. Jew and Gentile alike can be made right with God the same way - only by believing in Christ. The problem of faith and works is the same today as it was in the time of Paul. Every church has many in it trying to buy their way into heaven by church attendance, by activity in charity organizations and by doing their best in general. It is just as important today as in the first century to make the message as clear as possible - examine your heart before you rationalize your life. You are playing games with your eternal destiny!"
