Fynn, you can love better than any people that ever was, and so can I, can't I? But Mister God is different.

Mister God ain't like us; we are a little bit like Mister God, but not much yet.

(Rom.8:31, 32).

Everything is really said in an unobtrusive phrase, in Christ ...Faith is not added as a second, independent ingredient which makes its own contribution to justification in Christ... faith does nothing but accept, or come to rest in the sovereignty of His benefit ... we are not acceptable to God because of the worthiness of our faith. Grace is exclusively and totally God's.
