Grace is the very opposite of merit… Grace is not only undeserved favor, but it is favor shown to the one who has deserved the very opposite.

Harry Ironside
Harry Ironside (1876–1951) war ein kanadisch-amerikanischer Pastor, Evangelist und Bibellehrer, der unter anderem die Moody Church in Chicago leitete. Theologisch vertrat er einen klassischen Dispensationalismus und wurde dafür bekannt, biblische Texte in einer schlichten, für Laien leicht verständlichen Sprache auszulegen. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem durch seine zahlreichen gemeinfreien Vers-für-Vers-Kommentare aus einer konservativ-evangelikalen Perspektive.
