The Law and Grace
Galatians 5:2
Behold, I Paul say to you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.


I. GOD WILL DEAL WITH US EITHER ALTOGETHER BY WORKS OR ALTOGETHER BY CHRIST; these things cannot be mixed.

II. To piece up therefore the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BY OUR OWN WORKS, and to add anything to the passion as a meritorious cause of our justification, is TO MAKE CHRIST UNPROFITABLE.

III. WE OUGHT TO CONTENT OURSELVES WITH CHRIST AND HIS MERITS ALONE (Colossians 2:10).

(T. Manton, D. D.)
