"The Good News, however, is that in Jesus Christ our elder brother, God has received the perfect obedience that his law requires. There is nothing left to merit! He has earned every penny in the heavenly estate. We are indeed saved by works--and not by good intentions--but by works that are perfect, complete, and perpetual to every command. However, it is Christ's works, not ours, that have secured the eternal inheritance for us." (Michael Horton, Gospel Driven Life (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2009), 74).
