Christ Alone Quotes

“In the Reformation schema, to “preach Christ crucified” is to preach him and his saving death, rather than to preach our faith in him as what saves. The Reformation insisted that we are justified propter Christum (on account of Christ) and per fidem (through faith). It is not the opposite; that is, we are not justified on account of our faith and through Christ. This may sound like hairsplitting, but it is not. It is the difference between a Savior who saves and human faith that does not save. It is the difference between an objective Gospel that saves and another “gospel,” a subjective one, that is no gospel at all and that does not save. The ground of our justification is Christ and his innocent sufferings and death. Period.”
