"Many people come to listen to the gospel who have been brought up in a religious atmostphere, in religious homes, who have always gone to church and Sunday School, Never missed meetings; yet they may be unregenerate. They need the same salvation as the man who may have come to listen, who has never been inside a House of god before. He may have come out of some moral gutter; it does not matter. It is the same way, the same gospel for both, the both must come in the same way. Religiosity is of no value; morality does not count; nothing matters. We are all reduced to the same level because it is, "by faith", because it is, "by grace" '. D. Martyn LLoyd-Jones, speaking about the reality of his conversion close to the year of 1925. Quote taken from D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, "The First Forty Years" by Iain Murray, p.78.

i feel like i got saved today when i read this, when i contemplated Gods sovereign grace. this quote flys in the face of post-modern Christianity's worldly OCD unbiblical concern for the underprivileged. salvation is for all. thankfully, because if it was not, it would not of come to me. i am truly better than i deserve today.
