Galatians 3:7–9 (ESV)
Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

Deuteronomy 6:4–5 (ESV)
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

Tim Keller
Jacob Needleman wrote a book called Why Can’t We Be Good? The basic point of the book is so obvious, and yet he points out that all social theorists are writing books about how we ought to live, and therapists are writing books about how we ought to live, and political leaders are writing books about how we ought to live, but they’re all just missing one point … we know how we ought to live; we can’t do it.

Oswald Chambers
_The teaching of the Sermon on the Mount produces despair in the natural man – the very thing Jesus means it to do. As long as we have a self-righteous, conceited notion that we can carry out Our Lord’s teaching, God will allow us to go on until we break our ignorance over some obstacle, then we are willing to come to Him as paupers and receive from Him. _

Deuteronomy 6:5–6 (ESV)
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.

Leviticus 16:30
For on this day shall atonement be made for you to cleanse you. You shall be clean before the Lord from all your sins.

THE COMMAND IS TOO HARD!

Romans 10:5
For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them.

Romans 10:6–7
But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down) “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

Romans 10:8
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);

Romans 10:9–10
_… because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. _

Romans 10:14
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
