Morality or Religious Rules don't Save - Jesus saves

Paul tell us here that our righteousness can only be found in Jesus Christ. And that righteousness is through FAITH in Him, that is given to us by His GRACE, as a GIFT. Nothing we do can bring us faith, He gives it to us. And through it we are justified. Through Jesus' death on the cross, that gift can be passed down to us. Jew/Gentile, "good guy"/"bad guy", circumcised/uncircumcised...Jesus saves them all.

Paul wraps up by telling us that it's not a bad thing to uphold the law, but it's when we place some sort of false faith in the law that we being to stand boastful and proud of how good we think are and lose sight of how truly pitiful we are apart from the righteousness gifted to us by Jesus.
