Paul was not ashamed of the doctrine of the New Birth. The Gospel of Christ shows us not only righteousness for us, but righteousness in us by regeneration, so that every saved man becomes a new creature in Christ. The one indispensable plank in any religious platform is the Cross of Jesus Christ. Two methods of salvation have been repeatedly offered to the world. The one is merely ethical; the other, by the way of the blood-stained Cross. There can be no fellowship between the two. The first may be popular but no man was ever saved by any sort of ethical process. It is emphatically stated, “By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified.”
