| From
Martin Luther's Bible Commentary (1545). |
| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "Faith is said to justify, and furthermore seeing the confession of the
mouth is an effect of faith, and confession in the way to come to salvation, it follows
that faith is also said to save." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "When we speak of looking upon Christ, and receiving, and feeding upon him,
it is not Christ in heaven, nor Christ in the deep, that we mean; but Christ in the
promise, Christ offered in the word." |
|
| From Wesley's Notes.
| "For Moses describeth the only righteousness which is attainable by the
law, when he saith, The man who doeth these things shall live by them - that is, he that
perfectly keeps all these precepts in every point, he alone may claim life and salvation
by them. But this way of justification is impossible to any who have ever transgressed any
one law in any point." |
|
| The Righteousness of
Faith (Rom 10:5-8). Sermon by John Wesley.
| "Again, if there be anything good in sincerity, why dost thou expect
it before thou hast faith? -- seeing faith itself is the only root of whatever is
really good and holy." |
|
| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "This confession of Christ's name, especially in times of persecution, and
whenever obloquy is attached to the Christian profession, is an indispensable test of
discipleship." |
|
| From The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "...the law itself is against the law as a way of securing
righteousness." |

Lent 1, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in

which is consistently informed by the being and nature of God as caring.
Where it poses problems, even for the new Christianity, Paul refuses to
surrender it as a starting point." |

which is unrevealed, obscure, or trivial." |
