I read this quote from Charles Carroll, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, on Mark Batterson's blog today:
On the mercy of my Redeemer I rely for my salvation, and on His merits; not on the works I have done in obedience to His precepts.
Thank God our salvation does not rely on ability to follow the rules.
Amen!! Could you imagine if God judged us based on how well we followed the rules? Talk about failure!
