When a personโs tongue is extensively wrong, it is absurd, no less than unscriptural, to say that their heart is right.
J. C. RyleWe are all naturally self-righteous. It is the family disease of all the children of Adam.
J. C. RyleIn Christ alone Godโs rich provision of salvation for sinners is treasured up: by Christ alone Godโs abundant mercies come down from heaven to earth. Christโs blood alone can cleanse us; Christโs righteousness alone can cleanse us; Christโs merit alone can give us a title to heaven. Jews and Gentiles, learned and unlearned, kings and poor men--all alike must either be saved by the Lord Jesus, or lost forever.
