Of course, it could hardly be the law: that was the boast of Israel. But "justification of life" goes farther, though involved in the latter, than the end of Romans 4:1-25; for now we learn that in the gospel there is not only a dealing with the guilt of those that are addressed in it; there is also a mighty work of God in the presenting the man in a new place before God, and in fact, too, for his faith, clearing him from all the consequences in which he finds himself as a man in the flesh here below.

Our Lord Jesus lays a great stress upon this confessing of him before men; see Matthew 10:32; Matthew 10:33. Our Lord gives the law all it requires, not a part, for that would be an admission that it might justly have been content with less at first. (Spurgeon).

A passage like this may seem strange to us and unconvincing; and it may seem that some at least of the texts Paul quotes have been wrenched out of their context and made to mean what they were never intended to mean.

How is it possible that I can be saved? God is not far from each one of us (Acts 17:27) because His will is right at our fingertips.
