Daily Sacrifice, July 29 (17:4)
“I have glorified Thee on the earth. I have finished the work Thou gavest Me to do” — John 17:4.
IN the cross He finished the work of redemption, and now He lives to save eternally all who believe in His name. It is important to see that we are not saved by faith in Him plus anything else, but by faith alone. This is the testimony of the Epistles to the Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews particularly, all of which are based upon the text, “The just shall live by faith” (Rom. 1:17; Gal. 3:11; Heb. 10:38). These words are quoted from Habakkuk 2:4. A by-faith righteousness is altogether different from a by-works righteousness.
