About This Quote

If people really thought that they were doing something for the better good, then why do you need God to save them? If they were doing something for your own good, then it wouldn't be because they thought it was for the better good. They would have already thought of you as being someone who could benefit from what was being done. If you are saved, it means that you are loved by God. There is no need to ask God to save you because He already does so. You are loved by Him because He loves you.
