Crucify him! were also of this number. Theprofessors of good works, in our own day, whohave no true faith in Christ, are of this number ; forall offerings whatsoever, that are not perfumed withthe odor of Christs sacrifice, they are an abomina-tion to the Lord. In Abraham we see faith and works admirablycombined. He believed God, and it was countedto him for righteousness, and he was justified byworks, when he had ofiered Isaac his son upon thealtar. Thus faith wrought with his works, and byworks was faith made perfect. In fine, where there is a scriptural faith, thatfaith which is the evidence or conviction of unseenrealities, there will be works corresponding there-to, as surely as there is life while the soul is in thebody. On the other hand, where there is no true faith,there can be no works acceptable to God, no morethan there can be life when the soul has left thebody. For as the body without the spirit is dead,so faith without works is dead also. 130 RELIGIOUS Hi, With a furious man thou sfialt not go. Prov. xxii 24. The simpU pass on, and are punished.
