What is the difference between being saved by the faith way and being kept under the law?
The faith way is salvation by faith alone, plus nothing, without the law, under grace. Being kept under the law means being held under law as a heavy burden before faith came, rather than being saved by grace through the faith way.
Les explains that after the word faith he likes to place W-A-Y to clarify the faith way. Before the faith way came, when men and women could be saved by faith plus nothing and without the law, they were kept under the law. Being under law is pictured as a heavy burden, like the Haitian women carrying 100-pound bags of rice. Grace, by contrast, does not say keep the law; it says by faith, and faith alone, plus nothing.
