Quote by Sinclair B. Ferguson
“The way in which we maintain 'the expulsive power of a new affection' is the same as the way we first discovered it. Only when grace is still 'amazing' to us does it retain its power in us. Only as we retain a sense of our own profound sinfulness can we retain a sense of the graciousness of grace.”
