There are thousands in the world that make a Christ of their works; and here is their undoing, &c. They look for righteousness and acceptation more in the precept than in the promise, in the law than in the gospel, in working than in believing; and so miscarry.
โ Edward Fisher
Whenever sin stings you, and objections trouble you, look to the brazen serpent; confess sin, and trust for pardon; meditate on Christโs righteousness, and the abundance of grace in Him.
โPuritan Walter Marshall, The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification, Pg. 246
