“The
effort to repay God, in the ordinary way we pay creditors, would nullify grace
and turn it into a business transaction. If we see acts of obedience as
installment payments, we make grace into a mortgage… Let us not say that grace
creates debts; let us say grace pays debts… Past grace is glorified by intense
and joyful gratitude. Future grace is glorified by intense and joyful
confidence. This faith (confidence) is what empowers us for venturesome
obedience in the cause of Christ.” –
John Piper in Future Grace
