That’s a powerful statement. And I can give<br />

you many statements from Paul, but I want to go to<br />

number three.<br />

3. “Works of the law” contradicts God’s Agape<br />

love. In 1 Corinthians 13:5, we are told by Paul<br />

that:<br />

[Love] is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is<br />

not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.<br />

Agape. In other words, if there is a selfish motive,<br />

that is not Agape. I’ll give you an example. In<br />

Matthew 19:27, Peter comes to Jesus and He says:<br />

“We have left everything to follow you! What<br />

then will there be for us?”<br />
