(Rom 2:21) “Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? (22) Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?” These could not keep the very laws they taught. The same is true today of those who teach any level of obedience to precepts will save or aid in saving (the Bible calls these “works”).No individual can keep God’s laws perfectly. Period: (Rom 3:20) “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight:…” Only sincere faith in Jesus saves!
