Top Highlights
“Grace, on the contrary, is not looking for good men whom it may approve, for it is not grace, but mere justice, to approve goodness; but it is looking for condemned, guilty, speechless and helpless men whom it may save, sanctity and glorify.” (Page 7)
“Just this: Remember that any so-called gospel which is not pure unadulterated grace is ‘another’ gospel. If it proposes, under whatever specious guise, to win the favor of God by works, or goodness, or ‘character,’ or anything else which man can do, it is spurious. That is the unfailing test.” (Page 8)
“Indeed, he was saved, not from immorality, idolatry, or atheism, but from Judaism.” (Page 9)
“Remember, once more, the matter at issue here is not a means of life, but a rule of life; not a way to escape the will of God, but a way to escape the dominion of sin. Here, surely, is an end of controversy. If I say I am not under law, and stop there, I am left in spiritual anarchy. If I say I am under the law and under grace, I am in the current Galatian heresy which seeks to combine law and grace. But if I say I am not under the law but under grace, I am giving a Biblical and Christian testimony.” (Pages 28–29)
“If I am not, indeed, quite so good as I ought to be, but yet quite too good for hell, I am not an object for the grace of God, but for the illuminating and convicting and death-dealing work of His law.” (Page 7)
