Finite virtue

Why can’t our obedience and good works serve as the foundation for our justification before God?

“It is impossible by a quality of finite virtue and worth for an offense of infinite indignity to be blotted out and compensated for.”

- Francis Turretin, Justification (Phillipsburg, NJ: Presbyterian & Reformed, year not available), 21.
