Gospel-Driven Quote of the Week (11-16-09)
Nov 16, 2009
“Some have but a partial faith, relishing Christ only for freedom from the wrath of God, and not also for freedom from the power of sin: this is evidence of a rotten heart; for true believers prize Christ, not only as a Surety, for paying their debt, but also as a Root, for feeding them with the sap of spiritual life, as a root feeds the branches; and they relish Christ, not only as one that appeases God’s wrath, but one that purifies the soul from sin."
Ralph Erskine, “The Strength of Sin; And How The Law Is The Strength Thereof, Opened Up and Unfolded,” in The Works of Ralph Erskine, vol. 5, p. 511).
