Patristic Quote of the Day

The young man became arrogant through the observance of the law. He did not recognize that the consummation of the law is Christ. He assumed that he could be justified by works. He was not aware that Jesus had come for the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and that the law could not save except through justifying faith.—St. Hilary of Poitiers, On the Trinity 9.16
