Quote

By definition, if man contributes anything toward acceptance by God, he loses everything. God expects man to be the recipient, not the originator. Jesus paid it all, not 99% of it. Paul wrote, For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast
