Lailah Gifty AkitaI count everything loss, to gain anything under the power of grace in Jesus Christ.
About This Quote
In his book, "The Heart of Christianity," John Calvin said, "I count everything loss, to gain anything under the power of grace in Jesus Christ." In other words, all things are nothing more than losses to us if we lose them because of our sins. But, if we hold on to all things as a gift from God, they become a gain under the power of His grace in Jesus Christ.
