Charles Spurgeon on Works
by davidrsmithby davidrsmith“The commands of Christ are not upon the legal tenor of ‘this do and live,’ but upon the gospel system of ‘live and do this.’ We are not to be attentive to the precepts in order to be saved, but because we are saved. Our master motive is to be grateful to Him who has saved us with a great salvation.”
