The Law, Part 3

Works of the Law

One of the great debates in modern Christianity is the issue of whether or not obedience to the law is required for salvation. Those who believe they must obey God's law are accused of legalism or of trying to earn salvation by "works of the law". In this sermon Mr. Smith continues his series of sermons on the law by looking at all the verses in the Bible that use the term "works of the law" to see what this expression actually means.
