“[Faith]
is not a meritorious work, one facet of human righteousness, but
rather an appropriating instrument, an empty hand outstretched to
receive the free gift of God’s righteousness in Christ; that faith
is God-given, and is itself the animating principle from which love
and good works spontaneously spring; and that communion with God
means, not an exotic rapture of mystical ecstasy but faith’s
everyday commerce with the Savior.” - JI Packer
