A Christian does not obey the Law on his own, but through the power of Christ living in him. Paul goes on to emphasize that law keeping comes through grace of God and that law keeping does NOT earn grace. With God’s grace, the converted Christian will keep the law — but without that grace no amount of effort will bring righteousness and salvation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A saved person [in Christ] will want and be able to keep the law and do good works. A Christian is not saved by doing the law and good works, but a Christian does the law and good works BECAUSE they are saved and through God’s power.
