Your post made me think of this line from Buechner: " A crucial eccentricity of the Christian faith is the assertion that people are saved by grace; there’s nothing you have to do, there’s nothing you have to do, there’s nothing you have to do."
I'm actually quoting Buechner in my sermon this evening - “Grace is something you can never get, but only be given."
