We were not saved from our sin simply so that we would qualify for heaven. God delivered us so we would have a relationship with Him through which He could carry out His mission to redeem a lost world.

More quotes by Henry Blackaby
Ultimately, leadership is more about 'being' than 'doing.'
Henry Blackaby
The truth is that God can do anything He pleases through an ordinary person who is fully dedicated to Him.
Henry Blackaby
Nothing is more pathetic than having a small character in a big assignment. Many of us don't want to give attention to our character, we just want the big assignment from God.
Henry Blackaby
People who make decisions based merely on what seems most advisable to them will inevitably choose something inferior to God's best. Jesus, the ultimate model for the Christian life, did not rely on His own best thinking, but depended completely on His heavenly Father for wisdom in everything.
Henry Blackaby
How you live your life is a testimony of what you believe about God.
Henry Blackaby
You cannot go with God and stay where you are.
Henry Blackaby
God is interested in developing your character. At times He lets you proceed, but He will never let you go too far without discipline to bring you back. In your relationship with God, He may let you make a wrong decision. Then the Spirit of God causes you to recognize that it is not God's will. He guides you back to the right path.

You cannot stay the way you are and go with God.
Henry Blackaby
If the Christian does not know when God is speaking, he is in trouble at the heart of his Christian life!
Henry Blackaby
The Christian needs to walk in peace, so no matter what happens they will be able to bear witness to a watching world.
Henry Blackaby
We should thank God for being with us, not ask Him to be with us (this is always given!).
Henry Blackaby
Regardless of what we say, it's what we do that reveals what we as a church or individual actually believe about God and His will for us.
Henry Blackaby
Prayerless leaders are like ship captains without compasses they can make their best guess at which direction to go, but they have no assurance they are heading the right way. Prayer keeps leaders focused on the one absolutely consistent factor in life - God.
Henry Blackaby
During true revival, thousands of lost people are suddenly swept into the Kingdom of God. Scenes of the lost coming to the Savior in great, and unprecedented numbers, are common.
Henry Blackaby
It takes intentional effort to tune out every voice except God's.
Henry Blackaby
Don't put labels on people. See them as people who Christ died for.
Henry Blackaby
Jesus taught that your highest priority must be your relationship with Him. If anything detracts you from that relationship, that activity is not from God. God will not ask you to do something that hinders your relationship with Christ.
Henry Blackaby
The essence of sin is a shift from God centeredness to a self-centeredness. The essence of salvation is a denial of self, not an affirming of self.
