All by Grace

I've been reading and listening to Martyn Lloyd-Jones recently and have been really helped and encouraged by him. The quote from "The Doctor" below underlines what we've been teaching at LBC over the last few months concerning the fact that everything we have and are is by the grace of God alone - grace which keeps us both humble and confident:

Paul always kept the grace of God in view; it kept him humble; it kept his spirit sweet; it kept him from the horrible sin of self and of pride and self-importance. Christians have nothing to boast of. We are what we are entirely as the result of the grace of God. (David Martyn Lloyd-Jones, The Christian Warfare : An Exposition of Ephesians 6:10 to 13)
