no hope without it

[Mike Abendroth]

Certainly one of the strongest twentieth-century advocates for the imputation of active obedience was J. Gresham Machen (1881-1937).  He argues that without the imputation of active obedience, we would be worse off than Adam, but because of the imputation of active obedience, we are better off than Adam before the fall, since now, for Christ’s sake, “we are beyond the possibility of becoming unrighteous.” [J.G. Machen, God Transcendent and Other Sermons (ed. N.B. Stonehouse; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1949), 172-80]
