what a good reminder! praying for these kids to grasp this grace through faith.
--------------------------
The very center and core of the whole Bible is the doctrine of the
grace of God—the grace of God which depends not one whit upon anything
that is in man, but is absolutely undeserved, resistless and sovereign.
The theologians of the Church can be placed in an ascending scale
according as they have grasped that one great central doctrine, that
doctrine that gives consistency to all the rest; and Christian
experience also depends for its depth and for its power upon the way in
which that blessed doctrine is cherished in the depths of the heart.
The center of the Bible, and the center of Christianity, is found in
the grace of God; and the necessary corollary of the grace of God is
salvation through faith alone.
