"Yet
we in our day, much as we love to sing Amazing Grace (I suppose because
we like the tune), are not inwardly amazed by grace as the Puritans
were; it does not startle us that the holy Creator should receive
sinners into his company; rather, we take it for granted! 'God will
forgive. That's his job!' was the final scoff with which the French
cynic went to meet his maker." - J. I. Packer, A Quest for Godliness - The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life
