Want to say it was in a letter (correspondence with another). He of course didn't mean that we can labor to be brought near to God for our own salvation. No, he was firmly saturated with a biblical view of the need of God to initiate salvation and bring us near to Himself (Eph. 2). We cannot labor to become accepted by God. If he wrote it, then he would mean for a Christian to remove every personal obstacle possible to enjoy God above all else. Will see if I can find the quote again. Tyler,
