Quote by Criss Jami

“And sincerely we're seeing When 'sinternally' seeking In a manner of speaking There, in the eve of Eden Wreaked a sea that was leaking To where we were once but merely: Like bodies paralyzed - (B)Or(ed) minds buried alive - In a loud room soundproof Fallen short of the gory abroad before The Lord God let us go beyond our facade”

In all the universe, there was only one thing God had not placed under Adam’s feet—God himself. Yet Adam decided this arrangement was not good enough for him, and so he rebelled.”

“God does not declare us righteous because we are ourselves righteous. And thank God that is true, because none of us would meet that standard! No, God declares us righteous because by faith, we are clothed with Christ’s righteous life. God saves us by pure grace, not because of anything we have done, but solely because of what Jesus has done for us.”
