Faith and Works (113)
  1. The truth is, a Christian's holiness is hidden outside himself in Christ through faith.
  2. Christians are Christians not because of anything that they have done but because of everything Christ has done for them.
  3. I have my list. It may seem strange to you, but, when I think about my own death, I often think in terms of positive failures.
  4. One of the sad truths I realized about myself long ago is that I do nothing from completely spic-and-span motives. I mean nothing. When I hear someone say that they’re “utterly sincere” or they’re doing something “from pure motives,” I smell a lie.
  5. From you, Dad, I learned that a man is truly a man when, as Ecclesiastes says, whatever his hand finds to do, he does it with all his might (9:10).
