Popular theology has reduced the commandments of Christ and his Apostles to a practical nullity. It has totally obscured the principle of obedience as the basis of our acceptance with God in Christ, by the . . .

doctrine of "justification of faith alone", and that too, of the most monemtary character in the hour of death. It is part of the modern restitution of primative apostolic ways, to recognize distinctly, that while faith turns a sinner into a saint, obedience only will secure a saint's acceptance at the judgement seat of Christ; and that a disobedient saint will be rejected more decisively than even a unjustified sinner.
