Let the subject be made distinct and plain that it is not possible to effect anything in our standing before God or in the gift of God to us through creature merit. Should faith and works purchase the gift of salvation for anyone, then the Creator is under obligation to the creature. If any man can merit salvation by anything he may do, then he is in the same position as the Catholic to do penance for his sins. If man cannot, by any of his good works, merit salvation, then it must be wholly of grace, received by man as a sinner because he receives and believes in Jesus. It is wholly a free gift. Justification by faith is placed beyond controversy. And all this contro- versy is ended, as soon as the matter is settled that the merits of fallen man in his good works can never procure eternal life for him. Ellen G. White
Music is one of the most effective means of impressing the heart with spiritual truth. How often to the soul hard pressed and ready to despair, memory recalls some word of God
