The simple statement, 'God is for us', is in truth one of the richest and weightiest utterances that the Bible contains.
Christ had no interest in gathering vast crowds of professed adherents who would melt away as soon as they found out what following Him actually demanded of them. In our own presentation of Christ's gospel, therefore, we need to lay a similar stress on the cost of following Christ and make sinners face it soberly before we urge them to respond to the message of free forgiveness. In common honesty, we must not conceal the fact that free forgiveness in one sense will cost everything.
The measure of all love is its giving. The measure of the love of God is the cross of Christ.
There is a tremendous relief in knowing that {God's} love to me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion Him about me, in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself, and quench His determination to bless me.
Your faith will not fail while God sustains it; you are not strong enough to fall away while God is resolved to hold you.
We dishonor God if we proclaim a Savior who satisfies and then go around discontent
Repentance is more than just sorrow for the past; repentance is a change of mind and heart, a new life of denying self and serving the Savior as king in self's place.
Adoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers: higher even than justification.. . To be right with God the Judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by God the Father is greater.
A half-truth masquerading as the whole truth becomes a complete untruth.
Not until we have become humble and teachable, standing in awe of God's holiness and sovereignty...a cknowledging our own littleness, distrusting our own thoughts, and willing to have our minds turned upside down, can divine wisdom become ours.
The stars may fall, but God's promises will stand and be fulfilled.
The Son of God came to seek us where we are in order that he might bring us to be with him where he is.
The battle against pride in the heart is lifelong, so humility should become an ever more deeply seated attitude of living
There are ministers who never speak of repentance or self-denial. Naturally they are popular, but they are false prophets.
You can know a lot about God and godliness and still not know God.
If I were the devil, one of my first aims would be to stop folk from digging into the Bible.
What is a Christian? The richest answer I know is that a Christian is one who has God as Father.
I need not torment myself with the fear that my faith may fail; as grace led me to faith in the first place, so grace will keep me believing to the end. Faith, both in its origin and continuance, is a gift of grace (Phil 1:29).
There are no small sins against a great God
Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.
Only when you know how to die can you know how to live.
The idea that all are children of God is not found in the Bible anywhere.
