Michael Horton from the Foreword to Dual Citizens: Worship and Life between the Already and the Not Yet by Jason J. Stellman (Reformation Trust, 2009):

However, to be like Abram, called out of his moon-worshiping family in Ur, or like Peter, called to drop his nets and follow Jesus even to Calvary, is the most difficult vocation to embrace. In fact, it is impossible. As Abram, Peter, and all believers ever since have come to realize, becoming a Christian pilgrim is a gift of grace.
