Says one, “Do you find fault with good works?” Not at all. Suppose I see a man building a house, and he were fool enough to lay the foundation with chimney pots. If I should say, “I do not like those chimney pots to be put into the foundation,” you would not say I found fault with the chimney pots, but with the man for putting them in the wrong place. So with good works and ceremonies. They will not do for a foundation. (C.H. Spurgeon)
You will as surely be lost if you trust to your good works, as if you had trusted to your sins. (C.H. Spurgeon)
