(2,785 posts)A favorite verse of those who dispute the doctrines of grace.. Romans 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Romans 4:5 But him that worketh not, but believe on him that justifieth the ungodly,his faith is counted for righteousness.
Romans 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto God imputeth righteousness without works.
What about James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point he is guilty of all.
The law is not just the laws of Moses it is anything God has ever commanded from eternity pass
Trust in your works to save you and be guilty of all because God demands perfection. We protestants don't trust in our works to save or to even contribute to our salvation instead we trust in the finished work of Christ on the cross.
Philippians 3 verse 9 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness of God by faith.
The narrow path is Christ alone most people believe they have to do something contribute to their salvation. So that would be the broad path.
