“Left to our own devices we would quickly give up striving after holiness, being discouraged with our progress.  But we hope in the living God who empowers our feeble efforts to conform us to Jesus.  By grace alone we have been declared righteous before the Lord, and grace alone guarantees our final reward; thus, we obey Him now, confident that our godliness today is not in vain.”
