The Bible states that boasting is excluded by the law of faith, emphasizing that justification comes through faith, not works.
In Romans 3:27, the Apostle Paul declares, 'Where is boasting then? It is excluded.' This statement highlights the foundational truth that no one can boast about their works in relation to salvation because it is solely by faith. The law that excludes boasting is not the law given at Sinai but the law of God concerning faith. It underscores that true faith resides not in our abilities or adherence to the law but in God alone, who gives us faith as a gracious gift. Therefore, when we acknowledge our justification through faith, we have no grounds to boast, as it is God's work, not our own.
