The religion of Jesus Christ is neither natural, nor is it unnatural; rather, it is supernatural. To earn salvation would be natural. To expect salvation while we live in sin as we please, would be unnatural. To have God work the obedience in and through us while we cease our works,—we submitting ourselves to His working, and putting only our will on the side of the right actively,—is supernatural. This is the gospel. This is the reason why the obedience of faith is perfect and acceptable.
