He says "I would be innocent but not just" No no no! Surely it is sin which defiles - remove the defilement and we are accepted. What is needed for a righteous standing before God is a clean heart - forgiveness of sins. Getting our sins forgiven gives us acceptance before God. The sacrifice on the cross is enough - for by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being made holy (Heb10.14) The one offering that brings forgiveness also brings perfection. Christ's perfect keeping of the law proved that He was the perfect sacrifice. He did not keep the law so as to impute it to us. Covenant Theology requires this imputation of the lawkeeping of Christ into our account to balance the (supposed) covenant of works. Dr Sproul's argument makes for good Covenant Theology but, I'm sorry to say, bad Bible.
