our own righteousness


Ralph Erskine in Law-Death, Gospel-Life:

Legal obedience hath the evil of blasphemy in it. It reproaches the righteousness of Christ, as if it were not sufficient, as if his atonement were not perfect, as if his satisfaction were not full, as if his obedience were not perfect, unless it be patched up with the rags of man’s own righteousness. Is not Christ’s righteousness perfect without their addition?
