Worldly-Wiseman

"This WORLDLY-WISEMAN is Self-Righteousness, that glories in the law, attributes nothing to grace, trusts to its own merit, and will not accept the merits of Christ. This Self-Righteous spirit will stand beneath Sinai, rather than look to Calvary. This legal religion would, were it possible, work its own way to heaven, and ignore the salvation that is in Christ Jesus."[1]
