>>8858199>But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.It's addressing people who are trying to earn their way into heaven. They're not going through the easy door that is Christ.
You're saved by faith, but faith doesn't exist without works to prove it.
So imagine this. Imagine if I said "I love video games". But then I'm always trash talking video games and I've never played a video game in my life. Is what I said really true? No.
But imagine if I said "I love video games". I actually played them and collected them and spent most of my free time on them. Is what I said true in this case? Yes.
Do I need to be the best video game player in the world to prove I love video games? No. I just need to show that I really do love video games.
A person who's working in the example is trying to be the best at video games, he's studying, he's playing every game in the world, it's a burden, it's a chore, he's overhwhelmed..he can't do it.
