1 Corinthians 7:31

Unfathomable Oceans of Grace – Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Unfathomable oceans of grace are in Christ for you. Dive and dive again, you will never come to the bottom of these depths. How many millions of dazzling pearls and gems are at this moment hid in the deep recesses of the ocean caves.
