No Drifting

I ran across this while studying for my class tomorrow:

We cannot expect to drift into heaven on a cloud of pious thoughts. —Unknown author, Atonement and the Cross (Adult Teachers Sabbath School Study Guide edition), week of November 2–8, 2008

I think what most strikes me about that quote is how clearly it reminds us that mere belief is not the basis of salvation, but character-transforming faith. “Who am I?” is a much more meaningful question for the Christian than “What do I think?”
