Larry Riemersma As a sinner I could not please God, I could not neutralize or pay for my own sin. But when God justified me by His grace He went on record declaring me righteous.

What a marvelous plan Man's plan of salvation by good works is offensive to God and to anyone who has been saved by God's grace.
