Alien Righteousness

So, are Jews any closer to God than Gentiles because of their possession of the Law of God? Nope!

Not any fault of the Law - rather, blame lies in the innate innability to keep the Law of God.

So, are Gentiles closer to God because of ignorance of God's Law (thus, not as culpable)? Nope!

They have the witness of nature and conscience - both of which have been ignored.

Truth is, the whole human race is marred by sin and due eternal damnation in a literal, fiery hell - under the watchful eye of a Holy God.

GOOD NEWS! A righteousness no one can acheive is offered freely by an outside source, namely, Jesus Christ. He lived the innocent life demanded of us perfectly obeying God's Law. His merits are given to those who believe.

All (without exception) are sinners. All (without exception) are offered new life. All who believe and receive are welcomed in and counted as righteous as Jesus.

Now that's grace!
