It is the grace of God, that shows and condemns the sin that humbles us.

Grace doesn't grease the wheels of the law. Grace isn't God's way of jury rigging a broken law. It's the other way around. The law is just one small cog in a world animated entirely--from top to bottom, from beginning to end--by grace.

The law condemns the best of us; but grace saves the worst of us.

He who is completely sanctified, or cleansed from all sin, and dies in this state, is fit for glory.

Not only have we not done the good things that God really wants us to do, but in fact, we’ve done just the opposite. We’ve all done a lot of sinful things that we’re not very proud of. The good news is that, before we even ask to be forgiven– before we even know we’ve done wrong, sometimes– God has this miraculous, saving love for us.

When God Himself bestows His Glance of Grace, He blends us into Himself.
