works of the law | Beth Immanuel Messianic Synagogue

More about works of the law

Does the Epistle of James contradict Paul's teachings about Faith and Works of the Law? This Green Room class from James 2:14-2:26 clears up the confusion and reconciles the apostles. This class has implicatons for how we read and understand Galatians, Romans, and Paul's theology. Also includes an interesting discussion on Rahab of Jericho. Download the handout from the 2011 class below.

Has anyone ever warned you that you might be placing yourself under a curse by keeping the Torah? Paul says, "As many as are of the works of the law are under the curse" (Galatians 3:10). What's the "curse of the law" and how does it apply? 

Have you ever heard of faith versus works? The theological argument about whether God saves a person by grace alone or if a person's obedience and good works are a necessary part of the equation is old as the New Testament itself. This teaching offers a resolution of the classic faith-versus-works debate through exploring Paul's theology of justification for the circumcised and the uncircumcised.
