Charles Finney emphasizes the distinction between religion based on law and saving faith in Christ, illustrating how the Gentiles attained righteousness through faith while the Jews failed by relying on the law. He argues that true obedience stems from love and faith, not from fear or legalistic adherence to rules. Finney warns against the dangers of legalism and antinomianism, urging believers to embrace a faith that works through love. He highlights that the moral law remains essential, and genuine Christianity is characterized by a heartfelt love for God and others. Ultimately, he calls for a faith that transforms the heart and leads to joyful obedience.
