Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers
4531. Heaven and hell are in opposite directions, and no man can go both ways at the same time.
4532. Law condemns the best man; grace saves the worst man.
4533. A person who is almost persuaded is still completely lost.
4534. Salvation depends upon Christ’s work for us, while rewards depend upon our works for Christ.
4535. There is a way to stay out of hell, but no way to get out of hell.
