More quotes by C. FitzSimons Allison

The Sermon on the Mount is not a blue print for society or an individual’s rule of life. It is an introduction to the passion, and invitation to Good Friday.

Trust in an Age of Arrogance (2010)

The righteousness whereby we are accepted by God is the righteousness of Christ imputed to us when we are incorporated in Christ.
