God’s grace does not come to people who morally outperform others, but to those who admit their failure to perform and who acknowledge their need for a Savior.
You cannot have Jesus' rescue without accepting His rule.

If you didn't earn your salvation how are you going to un-earn it?
We tend to see God as a means through which we get things to make us happy. For most of us, He has not become our happiness.
