“I believe that when you and I
come to lie down for the last time, if only we can keep firm hold of the great
truths Christ taught us—our own utter worthlessness and His infinite worth; and
that He has brought us back to our one Father, and made us His brethren, and so
brethren to one another—we shall have all we need to guide us through the
shadows. Most assuredly I accept to the full the doctrines you refer to—that
Christ died to save us, that we have no other way of salvation open to us but
through His death, and that it is by faith in Him, and through no merit of
ours, that we are reconciled to God; and most assuredly I can cordially say,
"I owe all to Him who loved me, and died on the Cross of Calvary."—

Very thought provoking Gregg though a wee bit mormid for me as I don't feel too good.
