1 Corinthians 1:30"Because of Him, we are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God, that is our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. So as it is written, "let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
The ideas to take with you from Chapters 1-3, into Chapters 4-6 are as follows:
Chapter 1 - You played no causal role in being born under the law and sin, and being subjected to unbelief, emptiness, and futility.
Chapter 2 - You played no causal role in being redeemed/rescued from sin through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Chapter 3 - You play(ed) no causal role in being given faith to believe what you hear from God.
In summary: You Have Nothing To Do With It
Now, in Chapters 4-6, I demonstrate how today's Christian/Catholic orthodoxy teaches a false gospel by insisting you have everything to do with it.
Chapter 4 begins addressing this "problem" in 2 parts:
- Part 1 – A detailed explanation of what "the law" means in the context of the NT.
- Part 2 – Exposing the Christian/Catholic "gospel" message for what it is, "the law for rigtheousness."
