In the Old Testament, the Law of Moses focused on works, and demanded that the people do something to get God to bless them. The mindset that says we must do something for God, first, to get Him to do something for us puts us in bondage. This is wrong-thinking, because it brings shame and condemnation when we fail to do what we think is necessary to be blessed. Performance-based religion is sin. By contrast, when we are of faith, we believe that Jesus has finished everything necessary for us to be blessed. With this series (which features the messages Are You of the Works of the Law, or Are You of Faith? Parts 1 through 4), you can grow in your understanding of works of faith so you can have great results in your life.
