A good question

“If you cannot believe that God will forgive your sins for Christ’s sake, whom he sent into the world to be our high priest, how then, I ask you, will you believe that he will forgive your sins for the works of the law, which you never could perform, or for your own works, which, you must admit, cannot possibly counteract the judgment of God?
The doctrine of grace can by no means stand with the doctrine of the law.  The one must simply be refused and abolished, and the other confirmed or established.”
Martin Luther, commentary on Galatians 1:7.
