About This Quote
This is a quote taken from the Bible, Matthew 10:10. It means, basically, that salvation is not something you earn. No matter how hard you try to do good works, no matter how long you live, no matter how many people you help, it won’t save you. Salvation depends on God’s grace and that grace comes only by believing in Jesus Christ.
