Those who believe they have pleased God by the quality of their devotion and moral goodness naturally feel that they and their group deserve deference and power over others. The God of Jesus and the prophets, however, saves completely by grace.

If we are saved by sheer grace we can only become grateful, willing servants of God and of everyone around us.
- Tim Keller

- John Henry Newman
