“If there be ground for you to trust, as you do, in your own righteousness, then all that Christ did to purchase salvation, and all that God did from the fall of man to prepare the way for it, is in vain.

If there had never been a nation of Israel, there would have been no patriarchs, no prophets, no apostles, no Bible and no Saviour.
