Conditionally Speaking

There is nothing in us or done by us, at any stage of our earthly development, because of which we are acceptable to God. We must always be accepted for Christ’s sake, or we cannot ever be accepted at all. This is not true of us only when we believe. It is just as true after we have believed.

It is always on His “blood and righteousness” alone that we can rest. - BB Warfield
