Glory to God in the highest!

   Grace finds us beggars—and leaves us debtors. Nothing in my hand I bring—simply to Your cross I cling!

When Christ entered into Jerusalem—the people spread garments in the way. When He enters into our hearts, we pull off our own righteousness, and not only lay it under Christ's feet but even trample upon it ourselves.

Grace alone, makes the elect gracious. Grace alone, keeps them gracious. Grace alone, will render them everlastingly glorious in the Heaven of heavens.

The church of the elect, which is partly militant on earth, and partly triumphant in Heaven—resembles a city built on both sides of a river. There is but the stream of death between grace and glory!

The greatest judgment which God Himself can, in the present life, inflict upon a man—is to leave him in the hand of his own boasted free-will.


-preacher Augustus Toplady (1740–1778 A.D.)
