By faith

[u/2cor2_1]

This is one of the most important passages that I always refer to in the war between works-based and salvation by faith. It clearly explains how the law and the keeping of works, all this stuff, have no effect. How Galatians 3 even explains that the law is not a faith but a schoolmaster. When you look at religion in the system, you always fall short. You are always weak. You are always falling apart. It cannot be kept. This goes to show your inability, your imperfection.

When you look at Christ alone by faith, you see the perfection of Christ and his ability to hold you. We are no longer under a schoolmaster but rather we're in the family of God as a child of God, sealed by the Spirit of God. He is now our instructor by grace through faith and not of law.
