Justified By Faith - Romans 3:27,28

...a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
The law is a means to an end. That end is Jesus Christ. In other words, keeping the commandments out of duty or fear or to save face are short-sighted. Faith means obeying the revelatory voice of our redeemer. He speaks to us every day, if only we will listen. The law was given to point us to Him. When we are obedient to His voice (not necessarily the law), it is then that we have faith. It is then that we have the oracles of God (revelation).

This is the point: Pray always and listen to the Spirit, only then will we be justified. Only then will we be purified. Only then will we have a fullness of joy unspeakable. This is the point.
