Is It Finished or Not?
Clay Curtis

And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. (Acts 15: 1).

Now here is the folly of this lie. These men came declaring to the saints-to saints who were already in the state of righteousness and holiness in the new man in Christ Jesus-saints who because of Christ's work of grace performed in them--circumcision of the heart--they were made willing to look away from themselves to Christ alone in whom they were complete-saints who were satisfied with Christ even as God their Father-and these blind men had the audacity to say that something remained for the sinner to do.

The lie comes down to this. After all that Christ has done, man must perfect his work. Such a notion is continually cast out by the inner workings of Christ in those whom he truly governs in Spirit. The eternal security of Christ's hand is at stake if such a lie prevails. Christ will not allow it.
