“Every poor soul that comes by faith unto Christ, gives unto God all that glory 
which it is His design to manifest and be exalted in;– and what can we do more?

There is more glory given unto God by coming unto Christ in believing than in keeping
the whole law; inasmuch as He hath more eminently manifested the holy properties
of His nature in the way of salvation by Christ, than in giving of the law.”
