The Death of Legal Hope is a bold correction to our natural tendency to live as though we were “saved by works.” Even Christians may profess to believe in salvation by faith alone, but perhaps without realizing it they may be leaning on their own morality and good works to earn favor with God. Booth capably shows us from the Scriptures that this cannot be. When one comes to Christ, he dies to any hope of satisfactory law-keeping and enters into the all-sufficient grace of God freely bestowed. His love for Christ then motivates him in evangelical obedience to the moral law as part of his spiritual worship. Only then does he please God and worship acceptably. This message at once both liberates from legal bondage and replaces a false hope and insecurity with blessed confidence in the full and free salvation of our sovereign God.
