By Faith Alone

837.08 - 870.352 R.C. Sproul

I can't add anything to the merit of Christ, nor can I ever subtract anything to the merit of Christ. It's by his merit or his works that we're justified. Another way of turning this upside down is to say we believe in justification by works alone. Well, that would seem to be the exact opposite, diametrically opposed to the idea of justification by faith alone. But what I'm getting at is this.
