Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:… I have read that Dr. Moxey once had as an inquirer an old woman, and he drew her attention to the forty-first and forty-second verses of the seventh chapter of St. Luke! "There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty." Now he said, "Which debtor will you be?" She replied, "The one that owes five hundred pence." "Now," he said, "what have you got to pay?" She replied, "I am very anxious to be saved." "Well," he said, "we will put that down to the credit side." Immediately after she said, "No, I have made a mistake, I've got nothing to pay." "Then," he said, "we will go on with the story." And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both.'" He said, "That's just the way of the Lord towards us."
