Man-centered religion insists you can stand before God by your will and works. But Adam fell before sin entered the world—what chance have we after the fall? Only sovereign grace can save sinners. Salvation is not a joint effort between God and man; it is the work of God alone, from beginning to end.

Blessed Are the Merciful
If we, who have been shown so much mercy, fail to extend mercy to others, will not the Lord chasten and correct us? It is a grievous and wicked thing to withhold mercy when we have freely received it in such abundance.

Christ Crucified: God’s Power and Love Revealed
The Cross is not weakness, but the very display of God’s power and love—foolishness to the world, yet the wisdom of God to all who believe.
The Power and Wisdom of the Cross

Let us therefore hold fast to this gospel, unashamed of Christ crucified. For in Him we behold the very power and wisdom of God.
