Works? Works? A man get to heaven by works? I would as soon think of climbing to the moon on a rope of sand!
George WhitefieldTrue conversion means turning not only from sin but also from depending on self-made righteousness. Those who trust in their own righteousness for conversion hide behind their own good works. This is the reason that self-righteous people are so angry with gospel preachers, because the gospel does not spare those who will not submit to the righteousness of Jesus Christ!
George WhitefieldLet my name die everywhere, let even my friends forget me, if by that means the cause of the blessed Jesus may be promoted
