What happens if inheritance comes through the law?
If inheritance comes through the law, then faith is made void and the promise is made of none effect, because the law worketh wrath. The promised inheritance was not given to Abraham or his seed through law, but through the righteousness of faith, so law cannot be the basis for receiving it.
Les explains that the promise that Abraham should be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, nor through the promises made to Moses in the legal system, but through the righteousness of faith. Therefore, if they who are of the law be heirs, then faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect, because the law worketh wrath. The commandments can only bring a person to the wrath of God, not to heaven. Les also insists that grace is not license, and he never said that being under grace means we do not keep the commandments or pay attention to the law.
For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
