Seeking or following after justification by the works of the law or by our own righteousness, is fatal, as it is a self-exaltation, and upon the account of that high opinion there is of, and dependence upon, our own excellency in it. For doubtless 'tis fatal to our salvation upon the account of that in it, wherein it is especially opposite to God's design in the way of our salvation. This way of man's seeking his own salvation is fatal to man, doubtless because of that in it by which it is contrary to God's way, or to his aim in the way that he has contrived; which is that salvation should be wholly for Christ's sake, and that free grace alone should be exalted, and boasting be excluded, and all glory should belong to God and none to us (Romans 3:27, Ephesians 2:19, Romans 4:2, 1 Corinthians 1:29–31). Doubtless, therefore, seeking justification by the works of the law is fatal upon the account of the boasting that is included in it. The end of the law is that men may be sensible they have nothing of their own to plead. Romans 3:19, "That every mouth may be stopped." - WJE 18:164-65
