“The very act of faith by which we receive Christ is an act of the utter renunciation of self, and all its works, as a ground of salvation. It is really a denial of self, and a grounding of its arms in the last citadel into which it can be driven, and is, in its principle, inclusive of every subsequent act of self-denial by which sin is forsaken or overcome.” SelfLastsChristSinPrinciplesArmsOvercomingSalvationDrivenDenialRenunciationSelf-denialForsakenGroundingCitadels Book:BACCALAUREATE SERMONS, AND OCCASIONAL DISCOURSES Source: BACCALAUREATE SERMONS, AND OCCASIONAL DISCOURSES
