For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the god of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since God is one – who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no mean! On the contrary, we uphold the law. Romans 3:28-31. Salvation does not come through possession of the law. This implies that salvation is available to others as well as Jews. Paul confirms this truth in the face of Jewish opposition by the appeal to the fundamental principles of OT religion, that God is one. Paul is rejecting the law as the way of salvation. But since the law as moral demand was not given to sinners in order to justify them, the principle of salvation by grace through faith cannot be contradiction to the law. Be reminded as they were; that if Abraham was justified by faith, than so are you!
