"The law condemns the best of us; but grace saves the worst of us."
"The winds of grace are always blowing, but you have to raise the sail."
"Put God first in everything you do ... Everything that I have is by the grace of God, understand that. It's a gift ... I didn't always stick with Him, but He stuck with me."
"But they all stood beneath the cross, enemies and believers, doubters and cowards, revilers and devoted followers. His prayer, in that hour, and his forgiveness, was meant for them all, and for all their sins. The mercy and love of God are at work even in the midst of his enemies. It is the same Jesus Christ, who of his grace calls us to follow him, and whose grace saves the murderer who mocks him on the cross in his last hour."
"God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are."
"God often goes to the gutter to find the recipient for His grace. He lifts him out, washes him and transforms him - making him into a child of God fit for His kingdom. That is God’s grace."

"In the new covenant, God doesn't want us to be blessed when we obey the law and cursed when we fail. Doesn't such a system sound awfully similar to the old covenant?

"God has surely promised His grace to the humbled: that is, to those who mourn over and despair of themselves. But a man cannot be thoroughly humbled till he realizes that his salvation is utterly beyond his own powers, counsels, efforts, will and works, and depends absolutely on the will, counsel, pleasure and work of Another -- God alone."
"One is not righteous who does much, but the one who, without work, believes much in Christ. The law says, 'Do this,' and it is never done. Grace says, 'Believe in this,' and everything is already done."
"God enters through the wound."
"Amazing grace! how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but now am found, Was blind but now i see."
"The greatest danger to our future is apathy."
"The winds of grace blow all the time. All we need to do is set our sails."
"Sometimes our brains are our own worst enemy because grace isn't logical."
"Stand and face me, my love,and scatter the grace in your eyes."
"We can do little things for God; I turn the cake that is frying on the pan for love of him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before him, who has given me grace to work; afterwards I rise happier than a king."
"Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace."
