4546. We are saved by God’s mercy, not by our merit-–by Christ’s dying, not by our doing.
4547. You cannot repent too soon because you don’t know how soon it may be too late.
4548. If you refuse Christ because you feel you are not good enough, you are settling for less than God made you to be.

4550. God saves us not for what we are, but for what He can make us.
