We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous in our lives.
Charles SpurgeonI believe nothing merely because Calvin taught it, but because I have found his teaching in the Word of God.
Charles SpurgeonSelf-righteousness exclaims, "I will not be saved in God's way; I will make a new road to heaven; I will not bow before God's grace; I will not accept the atonement which God has wrought out in the person of Jesus; I will be my own redeemer; I will enter heaven by my own strength, and glorify my own merits." The Lord is very wroth against self-righteousness. I do not know of anything against which His fury burneth more than against this, because this touches Him in a very tender point, it insults the glory and honor of His Son Jesus Christ.
