“We rest our souls on a ‘finished work,’ if we rest them on the work of Jesus Christ the Lord. We need not fear that either sin, or Satan, or law shall condemn us at the last day. We may lean back on the thought, that we have a Savior who has done all, paid all, accomplished all, performed all that is necessary for our salvation.”
~ J.C. Ryle
Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: John, volume 3, [Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 1987], 355.
These beautiful thoughts remind me of John MacArthur’s comment to the effect that “There are only two religions in the world; “do”, and “done”. How that “finished work” humbles man and glorifies our incredible Saviour and Lord!
