Why do we enter in by faith plus nothing?
We enter in by faith plus nothing because the Law has been satisfied and completely paid in full through the work of the Cross. The Law has done its job, been crucified, and is off the scene, so salvation rests solely on faith in Christ’s finished work, not law-keeping.
Les teaches that the Law has been satisfied and completely paid in full through the work of the Cross, so it has done its job, been crucified, and is off the scene. That is why we enter in by faith plus nothing. In Galatians 3, Les explains that we become the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus, not by keeping the Law. He notes that many so-called Christians fly in the face of this verse by insisting they must do this or that, but Paul’s phrase “by faith in Christ” means faith in the finished work of redemption—that Christ died, was buried, and rose again, all in the predetermined counsel of God.
