Our works are never enough

...only when we get this right will wee have true and real peace with God and with our own condemning conscience.  For as long as we trust in the visible, in the outward, our works are never finished.  They are never perfect.  They are never enough.  What is finished? What is perfect? What is enough? Christ on the cross! There he did it all.  There he even said it all, when He declared it in triumph for us: It is finished!

Daniel Deutschlander, "The Theology of the Cross," page 135
