0049. The Law Insufficient

The Law Insufficient

"For what the Law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh" (Rom_8:3).

If we are saved by the works of the Law, salvation would not be equally in the reach of all, because men live under different environment. Men have inherited different tendencies toward sin.

Some men are born of moral parents, thus they have received by natural inheritance, a disposition more genial, more loving and more true than others.

Some men are thrown under more severe temptations and testings than some others.

To sum up what we mean: If salvation were a matter of the works of the flesh, and of right living, it would be much easier for some people to be saved than others; but, since salvation is of grace, the promise is sure and equally assured to all the seed.

Jesus Christ is just as able to save the vilest of the vile as the purest of the pure. His hand is not shortened that He cannot save; His ear is not heavy that He cannot hear; by Him, if any man enter in, he shall be saved.

Therefore the door is open to all. Let "whosoever will" come and enter in.
