We get in by grace, we remain in by grace, we walk by grace, we talk by grace, we persevere by grace, we eat dinner by grace, we go to church by grace. We get in by grace. We stay in by grace.

Living Faith from the Get Go
“I thought faith was the instrument of justification in the ordo salutis, and therefore preceded it.
