In all unbelief there are these two things: a good opinion of one's self, and a bad opinion of God.
Horatius BonarHave I then no work to work in this great matter of my pardon? None. What work canst thou work? What work of thine can buy forgiveness or make thee fit for the Divine favour? What work has God bidden thee work in order to obtain salvation? None. His Word is very plain and easy to be understood, "To him that worketh not, but believeth in Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness" (Rom. 4:5). There is but one work by which a man can be saved. That work is not thine, but the work of the Son of God. That work is finished.
Horatius BonarI came to Jesus as I was, weary and worn and sad; I found in Him a resting place, and he has made me glad.
