“Justified believers enjoy a blessing far greater than a periodic approach to
God or an occasional audience with the king. We are privileged to live in the
temple and in the palace. Our relationship with God, into which justification
has brought us, is not sporadic but continuous, not precarious but secure. We do
not fall in and out of grace like courtiers who may find themselves in and out
of favour with their sovereign, or politicians with the public. No, we stand in
it, for that is the nature of grace. Nothing can separate us from God’s
love.”
— John
Stott
