  8. Galatians 3:15-18 Ron Merryman “Though God gave both the Promise and the Law, He in no way was suggesting by adding the latter to the former that His normative method of dealing with men (the grace-promise method) was altered….That the Law should alter of annul the Promise or change God’s grace method of dealing with men was in no way God’s intent or purpose in giving it.”

  10. Galatians 3:21 Ron Merryman “The point is: the righteousness, which God demands, could never be produced in human beings by any type of law system. In giving the Sinaitic Law, God never intended that it produce righteousness (in the sense of justification) or life (in the sense of regeneration). No one can be righteous before God on the basis of law works and no one can be regenerated or born-again on the basis of law works. When viewed from divine perspective, one then would not look to the law for life or righteousness. Anyone who does is simply ignorant of or confused about God’s purposes for His law.”

  15. On Legalism Lewis Sperry Chafer “…every individual who is now under the law is self-placed, and that law under which he stands is self-imposed. In every case such relationship is clung to in spite of the appeal of pure grace. Had the legalists minds to understand and hearts to feel, they would realize that there is no access to God by a covenant of works and merit. To such as seek to come to Him by the law, God is as unapproachable as flaming Sinai.”
