Compare yourself with those who on the Lord’s Day hear nothing except the dismal sound of the world. What a privilege it is for you to hear the proclamation of the gospel!

Quote of the Week: Murray on Romans

DateSaturday, February 12, 2011 at 06:22AM

The apostle lays sustained emphasis upon faith--the gospel is "the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes".  It is not, therefore, a righteousness efficient unto the salvation of all unconditionally and indiscriminately.  But it is one invariably efficient wherever there is faith.  If it is a God-righteousness, it is also a faith-righteousness--these are mutually interdependent because of their respective natures.  It is faith that places us in the proper relation to this righteousness because faith is receiving and resting--it is self-renouncing, it looks away from itself and finds its all in Christ.
