God’s grace to His people is continuous and is never exhausted. Grace knows no interruption and no limit. In contrast with the Law it stresses the dynamic character of the Christian life. Law can be mastered. A man may acquire merit by conforming to it. He knows the precise requirements that are demanded of him. But grace is always an adventure. No man can say where grace will lead him.

Leon Morris
Leon Morris (1914–2006) war ein australischer anglikanischer Neutestamentler und langjähriger Leiter des Ridley College in Melbourne. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch fundierte Bibelkommentare sowie seine sprachwissenschaftliche Verteidigung der reformatorischen Lehre von der stellvertretenden Sühne gegen theologische Neuinterpretationen. Für Bibelleser verbinden seine Auslegungen bis heute eine genaue historisch-grammatische Textarbeit mit allgemeinverständlicher theologischer Orientierung.
