Legalism In Eden

CJ Mahaney interviewed Sinclair Ferguson and it was broken up into sections and topics.

This section on legalism is worth more than much gold. I learned so much from this section as Ferguson expounded on the following quote from one of his books:

“The glory of the gospel is that God has declared Christians to be rightly related to him in spite of their sin. But our greatest temptation and mistake is to try to smuggle character into his work of grace. How easily we fall into the trap of assuming that we can only remain justified so long as there are grounds in our character for justification. But Paul’s teaching is that nothing we do ever contributes to our justification.”
