The thief had nails through both hands, so that he could not work; and a nail through each foot, so that he could not run errands for the Lord; he could not lift a hand or a foot toward his salvation, and yet Christ offered him the gift of God; and he took it. Christ threw him a passport, and took him into Paradise.

D.L. Moody

Day by Day with D. L Moody, Moody Press, 1977, 90.

The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out.

Look at that Roman soldier as he pushed his spear into the very heart of the God-man. What a hellish deed! But what was the next thing that took place? Blood covered the spear! Oh! thank God, the blood covers sin. There was the blood covering that spear-the very point of it. The very crowning act of sin brought out the crowning act of love; the crowning act of wickedness was the crowning act of grace. Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God’s favor.

The grace of God hath power to bring salvation to all men, and if a man is unsaved it is because he wants to work it out; he wants to receive salvation in some other way than God’s way; but we are told that “he that climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.”

A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next 6 months, nor can he inhale sufficient air into his lungs with one breath to sustain life for a week to come. We are permitted to draw upon God’s store of grace from day to day as we need it.

Sovereign Grace Its Source, Its Nature and Its Effects, Bottom of the Hill, 2010, Ch.6

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And that which I can do, by the grace of God, I will do.
