“You should see obedient faith as the only kind of faith that God gives. It is obedient because it is breathing, just like it was told to . . . I do not have any problem saying that ‘a man is justified by obedience [doing what God says to do, the way He says to do it, and what He says to do is believe on Jesus Christ completely] apart from works of the law [disobediently twisting God’s words into a rabbinical pretzel that allows me to feel quite pleased with myself]’ That is not contradictory at all.”
