A weak understanding of what the Bible says about sin is tied to a weak understanding of what the Bible says is achieved by the cross.

More quotes by D. A. Carson
In any Christian view of life, self-fulfillment must never be permitted to become the controlling issue. The issue is service, the service of real people. The question is, 'How can I be most useful?', not, 'How can I feel most useful?'
D. A. Carson
Love the church because Jesus loves it.
D. A. Carson
Many of us in our praying are like nasty little boys who ring front door bells and run away before anyone answers.
D. A. Carson
When we suffer, there will sometimes be mystery... Will there also be faith?
D. A. Carson
The New Testament writers did not invent a doctrine of Scripture they inherited it.
D. A. Carson
If you want to see what judgment looks like, go to the cross. If you want to see what love looks like, go to the cross.
D. A. Carson
To God on whom we rely knows what suffering is all about- not merely in the way that God knows everything, but by experience.
D. A. Carson
Damn all false antitheses to hell, for they generate false gods, they perpetuate idols, they twist and distort our souls, they launch the church into violent pendulum swings who oscillations succeed only in dividing brothers and sisters in Christ
D. A. Carson
The place where God has supremely destroyed all human arrogance and pretension is the cross.
D. A. Carson
To worship God 'in spirit and in truth' is first and foremost a way of saying that we must worship God by means of Christ. In him the reality has dawned and the shadows are being swept away (Hebrews 8:13). Christian worship is new covenant worship it is gospel-inspired worship it is Christ-centered worship it is cross-focused worship.
D. A. Carson
You get into theological education and you're busy marking papers and getting into administration in raising funds and doing all the things that are part of life, but here we were talking about important theological, historical, gospel related, biblically centered things hour after hour after hour.
D. A. Carson
How much would our churches be transformed if each of us made it a practice to thank God for others and then to tell those others what it is about them that we thank God for?
D. A. Carson
Not all Scripture is propositional, some of it is asking questions, some of it's rhetorical, but where Scripture is stating something, asserting something, making a truth claim, uttering a proposition that is claiming to be true, it is the truth.
D. A. Carson
A wrong understanding is interested in precisionism. That is it tries to say that the Bible can't be telling the truth if it says that Jesus was such and such a distance from some place or other and in fact the distance is off by 15% or something like that. There are all kinds of grounded figures and so forth.
D. A. Carson
Worship is the proper response of all moral, sentient beings to God, ascribing all honor and worth to their Creator-God precisely because he is worthy, delightfully so.
D. A. Carson
Study Bible is the expression used for Bibles that include significant explanatory notes, usually at the bottom of the page, sometimes in the margins. Often a Study Bible will also include some brief articles, photographs of geographical and archaeological sites, fairly extensive maps, and charts that summarize a lot of information.
D. A. Carson
Hell is not filled with people who are deeply sorry for their sins. It is filled with people who for all eternity still shake their puny fist in the face of God Almighty.
D. A. Carson
You cannot find excellent corporate worship until you stop trying to find excellent corporate worship and pursue God himself.
D. A. Carson
All of us would be wiser if we would resolve never to put people down, except on our prayer lists.
D. A. Carson
Christians have learned that when there seems to be no other evidence of God's love, they cannot escape the cross.
