Righteousness of the Law vs. Righteousness of Faith- The righteousness of the Law is based on human works and perfection, which is impossible for sinners.--5. The righteousness of faith is given freely through Christ's obedience, not by human efforts. Salvation by grace cannot be mixed with works of the Law.--6. Paul's Argument on Salvation- Salvation is not attained by personal efforts or obedience to the Law but by God's grace through Christ and faith not as causing salvation, but as evidence of possession.--7. Faith is not something individuals can generate on their own- it is a gift from God, facilitated by hearing the gospel.--8. Obedience and Rejection of the Gospel- Not all obeyed the gospel, as Isaiah prophesied. Israel's disobedience and reliance on their own righteousness caused them to stumble.--9. Gentiles who were not seeking God found Him, while Israel, who pursued the Law, failed to achieve righteousness.--10. The Role of Preachers- Preachers are essential for spreading the gospel, but preaching itself does not cause salvation- only God can save. Christ was the first preacher, sent by God to declare the message of salvation.--11. Grace vs. Law- The gospel is a message of grace, not works. Attempting to earn salvation by works leads to failure.--AND IT IS FREE-
