My biggest fear, even now, is that I will hear Jesus' words and walk away, content to settle for less than radical obedience to Him.

Why make disciples? Because heaven and hell exist, and the end of the world is coming.
David Platt

We have nothing to fear, because God is sovereign.

Salvation now consists of a deep wrestling in our souls with the sinfulness of our hearts, the depth of our depravity, and the desperation of our need for his grace.

This is the gospel. The just and loving Creator of the universe has looked upon hopelessly sinful people and sent His Son, God in the flesh, to bear His wrath against sin on the cross and to show His power over sin in the resurrection so that all who trust in Him will be reconciled to God forever.
