Exodus 36:7

For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

Ver. 7. And too much.] Thus in outward ordinances of service, and for the making of "a worldly sanctuary," Heb 9:1 they could do and over do. So, John 6:28, "They said unto him, What shall we do that we may work the works of God?" Men would fain have heaven as a purchase. I would swim through a sea of brimstone, said one, that I might come to heaven at last. But what said our Saviour to those questionists in Joh 6:29 ? "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." And what said Luther? Walk in the heaven of the promise, but in the earth of the law; that in respect of believing, this of working. Many poor souls can think of nothing but working themselves to life. We must do all righteousness, but rest in none but Christ's.
