“By the Law No Flesh is Justified”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Obedience to the law, be it the law of Moses or the fulness of gospel law, will not resurrect or exalt a man. Had there been no atoning sacrifice there would be no resurrection, no eternal life, no celestial kingdom, no saved beings. Only in that which Christ did for us, that which we could not do for ourselves, is the hope of salvation granted to men.
