From the book “Truth For Today: A Daily Touch of God’s Grace” by John F. MacArthur

How long will you falter between two opinions? - 1 Kings 18:21

Humanity has always had two systems of religion available. One is from God and is based on His gracious accomplishment. The other is from mankind and is based on the achievements of men and women. One is all of sovereign grace and is embraced by faith. The other is all of human works and is performed in the flesh. One flows out of a sincere heart, the other from outward hypocrisy.

Even Moses’ law, though from God, was not a means of salvation. It was a means of showing people their need of salvation. “Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin” (Romans 3:20). When Jesus came, He taught us that we are incapable of in ourselves of keeping that perfect law. He made it clear that we must choose religion if grace and faith rather than the religion of law and works.
