DYING IN THE OCEAN OF GRACE
Dr. Gerstner, "Christ has done everything necessary for his [sinners] salvation. Nothing now stands between the sinner and God but the sinner's good works. Nothing can keep him from Christ but his delusion that he has good works of his own that can satisfy God. If men will only be convinced that they have no righteousness that is not filthy rags; all they need is need! All they must have is nothing. All that is required is an acknowledgment of guilt. But, alas, sinners cannot part with their imaginary virtues. So grace becomes unreal. Fixed on a mirage they will not drink real water. They died of thirst in the midst of an ocean of grace."
