Not by Keeping Law.

By Editor

Let it forever be understood that the SIGNS OF THE TIMES does not teach that we can be saved by any works that man can do. It was a perversion of the Gospel when the men from Judea said, "Except ye be circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved." Acts 15:1. No work of man will save him. No attempt to keep any law will save him. Man is saved, if at all, by the merits of Jesus Christ, by the free grace of God. But he who truly accepts this salvation, whose life drinks in of the life, the Spirit of God, will work. He will not work for life, but from life. His faith will be a "faith which worketh by love." Gal. 5:6.

His love will keep all of God's commandments, and His commandments will not be "grievous." 1 John 5:3.
