It is impossible, indeed, to separate works from faith, just as it is impossible to separate heat and light from fire.- Martin Luther

The truth is that unless people realize they have a sin problem, they will not come to Christ for a solution. People don’t come for healing unless they know they have a disease; they don’t come for life unless they are conscious that they are under the penalty of death; they don’t come for salvation unless they are weary of the bondage of sin.-John MacArthur
