“No one does good. But all is well nonetheless, because Jesus did not come for the righteous, but for sinners. He did not come for the good people who feel no need for him, but for humble people who know that without him, they are sunk. For those humble people, the reward is not given at the finish line, but rather at the starting line.” Whereas religion presumes to work for the favor of God, life in Christ works from a favor that’s already been given by God freely in Christ.
