SHUTTING OUR MOUTHS

The Purpose of the Law

It shows us God’s holiness.

Leviticus 19:2 ““Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.”

It shows us our sinfulness.

See Romans 3:19–20...

It shows our need of a Savior.

Psalm 130:3 “If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?”

Romans 7:24 “Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?”

Our Only Hope

Repentant faith in Christ is the only way to be saved!

John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Acts 4:12 “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.””

Mark 1:15 “and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.””

Romans 10:9–10 “because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”
