is the difference between works of the law and works of faith? Because remember, it’s works of the law that have deceived us. What’s the difference? We need to see it, because works of the law and works of faith are very much similar in the outward acts. The difference is not so much in the works themselves, both look similar outwardly. In other words, you can have two people keeping the Sabbath, one is doing works of faith, and one is doing works of the law. What is the difference? You can have two people going out ingathering, one is works of the law, one is works of faith. They look similar outwardly, so that it is very easy to confuse one for the other. So what’s the difference? There are two major differences. The first difference is the origin, the source. One is man’s efforts, by the flesh. The other one is Christ doing it through faith. Let me give you an example. I want you to turn your Bibles to Luke 18. Here is an excellent example of works of the law. And I want you to notice the number of times the word 138
“I” appears. The works are good, but notice the origin. Who is doing it? Luke 18:10-12. This is Jesus speaking. I want you to notice the introduction to the parable, this is crucial. Jesus is discussing here works of the law. Verse 9 is the introduction: To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: Now here is one difference. Normally, a person who does works of the law always despises others. They look down upon others. Continuing with verse 10: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. Now who is a Pharisee? What did the word “Pharisee” mean to the Jew? (Not to us Adventists, because we have given the word “Pharisee” a negative meaning.) But to the Jew, “Pharisee” did not have a negative meaning. A 139
