Quotes by Robert Traill
“Wisdom without Christ is damning folly, righteousness without Christ is guilt and condemnation, sanctification without Christ is filth and sin, redemption without Christ is bondage and slavery.”
“Let us make Christ crucified our great study as Christians, and the preaching of him our main work as ministers.”
“Faith in Jesus Christ is neither work, nor condition, nor qualification, in justification; but is a mere instrument, receiving (as an empty hand receives the freely given alms) the righteousness of Christ.”
“Never was a sinner qualified for Christ. He is well qualified for us.”
“This doctrine is a spiritual mystery, and does not lie level with a natural understanding. Working for life a man naturally understands, but believing for life, he understands not.”
“This faith, we teach, purifies the heart, and always inclines to holiness of life.”
