”And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.” | Genesis 39: 20-21

Grace always presupposes unworthiness in its object.

The province of grace ceases where merit begins: what a cheering word is this to those of you who have no worth, no merit, no goodness whatsoever!

Crimes are forgiven, and follies are cured by our Redeemer out of mere free favor.

The word grace has the same meaning as our common term gratis: Wickliffe’s prayer was, “Lord save me gratis.”

No works can purchase or procure salvation, but the heavenly Father giveth freely, and upbraideth not.

~ C.H. Spurgeon
