1 | All man's own merits... | Ps 12:4 | DocTrinsograce | 240879 | ||
"The self-righteous man thinks that God will give him rewards for fasting and labor. He thinks that without these God will give him nothing. He thinks precisely that God is someone who will save him through his works, not for the sake of free grace. To this fiction, 'God will save me through my works,' he attributes salvation. This is the most persistent struggle and battle of the world against God. No one wants to rely on God's glory alone and repudiate all his own merits." --J. J. Pelikan (1999) | ||||||
