About This Quote

When we realize that we must one day stand before God, we begin to realize how bad we really are. We are no different than any other sinners before us. Our only hope of salvation is the grace of God, and this grace is so great that it will not allow us to remain in our sins forever. Only when we truly understand the depths of our sinfulness will we want to repent and trust in Christ alone for our salvation.
