Finished work Quote by Matthew Robert Payne
““Holiness does not come from self-worth. Holiness comes from the power and the enabling of the Holy Spirit through the grace of God, established by the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross for us. Jesus is saying that we should be living in a manner that is ready for Him to come back at any time. We should be conducting our personal and public life appropriately — in a way that brings honor to the Lord Jesus Christ.””
