Found this Quote On Josh Harris' blog

and really liked it.

True faith has nothing whatever of merit about it, and in the highest sense cannot be called 'a work'. It is but laying hold of a Savior's hand, leaning on a husband's arm and receiving a physician's medicine. It brings with it nothing to Christ but a sinful man's soul. It gives nothing, contributes nothing, pays nothing, performs nothing. It only receives, takes, accepts, grasps, and embraces the glorious gift of justification which Christ bestows, and by renewed daily acts enjoys that gift.
- J. C. Ryle, Old Paths, quoted in The Christian Life by Sinclair Ferguson
