Justification Before God: Under Law: Requires Perfect Obedience

Keep My statutes and My judgments, for the man who does these things will live by them. I am the LORD.

For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.

Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
