What was the Protestant Reformation all about? Justification by faith not justification by the law.

The Grace Revolution reveals that the Gospel of the Grace of Christ teaches that we are saved and kept BY GRACE through faith, not the law.

The Law is not the enemy. James called the Law the "perfect law of liberty". Jesus said the following...

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

The grace of God that we receive by faith in Jesus Christ helps us to keep the law. That same grace cleanses us when we fall short and does not hand us over to our sins. However those who are lawless, do not know Him...

Mathew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them*, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (lawlessness).
