Good Works not to be Relied On
Titus 3:4-7
But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,…


Though good works may be our Jacob's staff to walk with on earth, yet they cannot be our Jacob's ladder to climb to heaven with. To lay the salve of our services upon the wound of our sins, is as if a man who is stung by a wasp should wipe his face with a nettle; or as if a person should busy himself in supporting a tottering fabric with a burning firebrand.

(T. Secker.)
