But the Gospel of grace


"Religiosity of morality permits no one to be a sinner and now everyone conceals his sins to himself and to others. But the Gospel of grace, which makes it hard for the religious to understand, confronts us with the truth that you are a sinner. Now come as you are to the God who loves you. He doesn't want anything from you nor your sacrifices or works - He wants you alone." Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Ephesians 2:8−10 ”For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
