Christ Is No Half-Savior

Traditional Reformed / Puritan emphasis

The old Reformed question still searches: “If Christ has finished the work of justification, what need is there of our additions? And if He has not, of what use are they?” Christ will not divide the glory of His work. He is no half-Savior.

How you’d preach it

Strong for the completeness of Christ’s work. We do not finish what He finished.
