Infinite Way Writings

Weekly Passage - for week of 3/25/12



"...if God's grace were dependent upon us first being virtuous, I am afraid that none of us would make the grade. If God's grace were dependent on our being good first, we would still be outside the kingdom of heaven begging; but it is not that way at all, I can assure you.

"The adultress, the thief on the cross, the syphilitic, all received God's grace. When? In the moment that they opened themselves to it, not by being reformed first. No, there are many things we ourselves cannot really do much about, and unless we receive the grace of God we are not going to be reformed."

-- from Joel Goldsmith's "Beyond Words and Thoughts"
Chapter 8 - The Way of Grace
