Balance Quote by John Cassian
“No just man suffices unto himself for the winning of justification. The divine mercy must always hold out a hand to his footsteps as they falter and almost stumble, and this is so because the weakness of his free will may cause him to lose balance, and if he falls he may perish forever.”
![“In this state [man's fallen condition], the Free Will of man toward the True God is not only wounded, maimed, infirm, bent, and weakened; but it is also imprisoned, destroyed and lost. And its powers are not only debilitated and useless unless they be assisted by grace, but it has no powers…” quote by Jacobus Arminius](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/450/jacobus-arminius-59038_bent_in-this-state-man-s-fallen-condition-the_1610625.jpg)
![“...the souls of the dead [are] not deprived of their intellectual faculties but... they also are not lacking in feelings such as hope and sadness, joy and fear. They already have a foretaste of what is in store for them after the general judgment. Nor does it happen, as some unbelievers would…” quote by John Cassian](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b0e/john-cassian-13822_christian_the-souls-of-the-dead-are-not-deprived-o_361463.jpg)
