KJV SECTION 4.2

The Old Testament says that anybody who keeps all of God’s laws will be saved. But no human can keep all the laws. So God sent Jesus Christ, who did keep all the laws, to take our punishment for breaking the law. By grace, we can be saved just by believing that Christ died for us. MAIN IDEA KJV
