“Do you know what the law says to you? Shut up! (Galatians 3:23; Romans 3:19). Shut up about your self-righteousness & all your goodness & your great sacrifice. Shut up! Not only do not try to go on doing things like that to put yourself right with God, but stop talking, put your hand over your mouth, get down into the dust and ashes. The most respectable person in the world, the most moral, ethical individual, you, too, get down and put on your sackcloth and ashes. Shut up!”
— Martyn Lloyd-Jones, The Law, Our Schoolmaster
