Luego entonces, ¿es la ley de Dios contraria a las promesas de Dios? ¡Por supuesto que no! Si pudiéramos salvarnos por la ley, Dios no nos habría proporcionado otro medio para escapar de la esclavitud del pecado, como dicen las Escrituras. La única manera de recibir la promesa de Dios es por fe en Jesucristo.
