1 " The hallmark of grace is an obedient heart. Again, we must be clear: obedience does not produce or maintain salvation, but it is the inevitable characteristic of those who are saved. "
― John F. MacArthur Jr. , The Truth About Grace
2 " We are all like the boy who had no ability. God graciously puts us on the team, not because of our own ability, but purely by His sovereign grace. And He gives us the ability to play the game. So get in the game and give thanks for the holy privilege of serving Jesus Christ. "

4 " The hallmark of grace is an obedient heart. Again, we must be clear: obedience does not produce or maintain salvation, but it is the inevitable characteristic of those who are saved. The desire to know and obey God’s truth is one of the surest marks of genuine salvation. Jesus made it clear that those who obey His word are the true believers (John 8:31; 14:21, 23–24; 15:10). Slaves of sin—unbelievers—are free from righteousness (Romans 6:20). Christians, on the other hand, are free from sin and enslaved to God through faith in Jesus Christ (v. 22). The inevitable benefit is sanctification, and the ultimate outcome is eternal life (v. 22). This promise sums up the whole point of Roman 6: God not only frees us from sin’s penalty (justification), but He frees us from sin’s tyranny as well (sanctification). "
5 " True faith, genuine commitment to Christ, results in “works.” A changed heart results in a changed life. "
