Christ Alone!
"Our
God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased. Their
idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands."
-PSALM
115:3-4 [KJV]
Let
me ask: if it be so very absurd to worship the work of other men’s
hands, what must it be to worship the work of our own hands? Perhaps
you say, "God forbid that I should do so." Nevertheless,
let me tell you: trust, confidence, reliance and dependence for
salvation are all acts, and very solemn ones too, of divine worship
and upon whatsoever you depend, whether in whole or in part, for your
acceptance with God and for your justification in His sight,
whatsoever you rely upon and trust in for the attainment of grace or
glory, if it be anything short of God in Christ, you are an idolater
to all intents and purposes.
–Gospel report by preacher Augustus Toplady (1740–1778 A.D.)
