Refusing to Accept God’s Way

Key Scripture

Romans 10:3 – For they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law

I have seen a couple of people hammer on following the law to be made righteous before God. Well, the truth is that you can only obtain righteousness by faith in the finished work of Jesus, that is Gods way of making people right with Himself today.

For those who want to still depend on the law to obtain righteousness, if they’ll be honest, they know it is not possible. Even the Bible acknowledges that the law cannot get anyone saved or righteous, so to think otherwise is to directly contradict what the word says.

Romans 3:20 – Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin

When people refuse to accept God’s way by faith, they are simply following their own way. Check out the key scripture again:

Romans 10:3 – For they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law

Man’s way would never supply righteousness…but Gods way through faith in Jesus is how righteousness is attained. Every other way is simply a human thought up way, or just another way that won’t work…so why try to do it your own way? When God has made a more perfect way available.
