“As one godly writer put it long ago, ‘All merit is in the Son . . . and all power is of the Spirit.’ What a profound sentence! The only thing that will ever give you or me acceptance with God is the work of Jesus Christ our Savior. It will never be our own good works. But listen carefully to the corresponding truth: The only power that will keep us victorious on a daily basis comes through the Holy Spirit. It’s not about what we can do, but what God can do! His grace does not stop upon our receiving salvation; it is the storehouse from which we draw all we need for the rest of our lives.” (Cymbala)
