“The very expression “the grace of God” implies and denotes that the sinner’s condition is desperate to the last degree, and that God may justly leave him to perish; yea, it is a wonder of wonders that he is not already in hell. Grace is a divine provision for those who are so depraved they cannot change their own nature, so averse from God they will not turn to Him, so blind they can neither see their malady nor the remedy, so dead spiritually that God must bring them out of their graves on to resurrection ground if ever they are to walk in newness of life. Grace is the sinner’s last and only hope; if he is not saved by grace, he will never be saved at all. Grace levels all distinctions, and regards the most zealous religionist on the same plane as the most profligate, the chaste virgin as the foul prostitute. Therefore God is perfectly free to save the chiefest of sinners and bestow His mercy on the vilest of the vile.” —A. W. Pink (1886–1952)

“The gospel is no mere “invitation” to be heeded or not as men please, and grossly dishonoring to God is it if we consider it only as such. The gospel is a divine proclamation, demanding the throwing down of the weapons of our warfare against heaven. God “now commandeth all men every where to repent” (Acts 17:30). And again we are told,
“And this is His commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ” (1 John 3:23).
The gospel is “for obedience to the faith” (Romans 1:5), and Christ is “the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him” (Hebrews 5:9). To those “that obey not the gospel,” the Lord Jesus will come in flaming fire, taking vengeance (2 Thessalonians 1:7-8). If men will not bow to Christ’s scepter, they shall be made His footstool.” —A. W. Pink (1886–1952)
