self-justiciary

Updated: June 25, 2025

This is it that makes the sensible soul prize the Lord Jesus, while the self-justiciary laugheth him to scorn. This is it which makes the awakened sinner cast away his own righteousness, while the self-conceited one makes it his advocate with the Father. Some, indeed, count their own doings the only darling of their soul, while others cast it to the dogs.
