“God allowed His Son to suffer as if a condemned sinner, so that we might be delivered from the penalty of our sins. This is God’s righteousness, that we are not justified by works (for then they would have to be perfect, which is impossible), but by grace, in which case all our sin is removed.” (John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Epistles of Paul to the Corinthians)
Hey Mike!…I will track that down…I found it a long time ago….I believe it is in the Ancient Church Father's Commentary Series. So good to hear from you 🙂
This is helpful especially in light of the James 2 reading from this past weekend.
Can you give further citation of Chrysostom so we might be able to find that quote? I guess with Google I can track it down, but still…
Thanks Matt!
