Endeavour: why we're not better

This means, ironically, that Christians who understand biblical doctrine ought to be the ones who appreciate the work of non-Christians the most.  We know we are saved by grace alone, and therefore we are not better fathers or mothers, better artists and businesspersons, than those who do not believe as we do.  Our gospel-trained eyes can see the world ablaze with the glory of God's work through the people he has created and called - in everything from the simplest actions, such as milking a cow, to the most brilliant artistic or hisotric achievements.

Keller, ...Endeavour..., p74
