"When we have done all we ever shall do, the very best state we ever shall arrive at, will be so far from meriting a reward, that it will require a pardon... if I was to live to the world's end, and do all the good that a man can do, I must still cry, 'Mercy!'" - B.B. Warfield
The Kingdom is gained by mercy, not merit; it is inherited through death by grace, not achieved through favor by works. Heaven is inhabited by pardoned criminals, not model citizens.
"All Christians are pardoned criminals." - B.B. Warfield
