"God glorifies himself by His justice in the next life. But in this life, God glorifies himself by His mercy. ...
God's plan was that where sin abounded, grace might more abound (Rom 5:20)... The more mercy He shows, the more glory He gets. Therefore, logically, the less claim you have on God's goodness, the more glory He gets from giving you mercy.
...
The worse we are, the more reason for having confidence in God our Savior."
-Eugene Boylan, Partnership with Christ, p 35
