Rom.4.14

For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

Rom.4.14

If those who get what God gives them only get it by doing everything they are told to do and filling out all the right forms properly signed, that eliminates personal trust completely and turns the promise into an ironclad contract! That's not a holy promise; that's a business deal.

Rom.4.14

For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless,

Rom.4.14

For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,

Rom.4.14

So if you claim that God's promise is for those who obey God's law and think they are "good enough" in God's sight, then you are saying that faith is useless. And in that case, the promise is also meaningless.
