"Jesus proclaimed unmistakably that God’s law is so perfect and absolute that no one can achieve righteousness. Yet God’s grace is so great that we do not have to. By striving to prove how much they deserve God’s love, legalists miss the whole point of the Gospel, that it is a gift from God to people who do not deserve it.
The solution to sin is not to impose an even-stricter code of behavior. It is to know God."

What So Amazing About Grace, p. 210 Philip Yancey
