Quote

If we want proof of God's love for us, then we must look first at the Cross where God offered up His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Calvary is the one objective, absolute, irrefutable proof of God's love for us.

The pursuit of holiness must be anchored in the grace of God otherwise it is doomed to failure

No detail of your life is too insignificant for your heavenly Father's attention.

Our first problem is that our attitude towards sin is more self-centred than God-centred. We are more concerned about our own Victory over sin than we are about the fact that our sin grieve the heart of God. We cannot tolerate failure in our struggle with sin chiefly because we are success oriented, not because we know it is offensive to God.

Perhaps we should stop talking about being faithful to have a quiet time with God each day, as if we were doing something to earn a reward. It would be better to talk about the privilege of spending time with the God of the universe and the importance for our own sake of being consistent in that practice.

The heroes of faith in Hebrews 11 ... obeyed by faith ... obedience is the pathway to holiness ... no one will become holy apart from a life of faith. Faith enables us to claim the promises of God, but it also enables us to obey the commands of God.

God’s plan and His ways of working out His plan are frequently beyond our ability to fathom and understand. We must learn to trust when we don’t understand.

Trials always change our relationship with God. Either they drive us to Him, or they drive us away from Him. The extent of our fear of Him and our awareness of His love for us determine in which direction we will move.

Justified is even better than just as if I'd never sinned. It is also just as if I'd always obeyed.

Image
We must not allow our emotions to hold sway over our minds. Rather, we must seek to let the truth of God rule our minds. Our emotions must become subservient to the truth.

God's sovereignty does not negate our responsibility to pray, but rather makes it possible for us to pray with confidence.

We might say God's wrath is His justice in action, rendering to everyone his just due, which, because of our sin is always judgment.
