Mini-Post: Grace and Works (Quote)
“The relationship between grace and works will always be somewhat of a mystery to man. It seems that this is an intentional part of God’s plan to test human hearts and prove the sincerity of faith. There is a special chemistry between grace and works that keeps a man striving while preventing him from despairing. It is not a question of doing enough but of bringing one’s heart into submission to God. Heaven is not a hall of fame for spiritual superstars. God wants surrender, not statistics.”

Love this quote! I love the part that says, “It is not a question of doing enough but of bringing one’s heart into submission to God.” We should WANT to work because of our adoration, not feeling like we HAVE to work because we feel guilty if we don’t.
