Grace

“The God of all grace.”
— 1 Peter 5:10.

“It is the love that is in God, not any loveliness in the sinner, that accounts for the extravagant liberality of his reception in Christ.”

“What the natural man understands by mercy is not … God's blotting out sin by the bloodshedding of Jesus, but His passing by sin with indifference. This is not grace.”
