God condemned sin in Christ, so that holiness might appear in us.
John Stott
Image
The hallmark of an authentic evangelicalism is not the uncritical repetition of old traditions but the willingness to submit every tradition, however ancient, to fresh biblical scrutiny and, if necessary, reform.
John Stott
Image
A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
John Stott

Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.

God continues to speak through what He has spoken.
John Stott
Image
Every time we look at the cross Christ seems to say to us, 'I am here because of you. It is your sin I am bearing, your curse I am suffering, your debt I am paying, your death I am dying.' Nothing in history or in the universe cuts us down to size like the cross.
John Stott

It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
John Stott

At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself. He bore the judgment we deserve in order to bring us the forgiveness we do not deserve. On the cross divine mercy and justice were equally expressed and eternally reconciled. God's holy love was 'satisfied.'

John Stott
Image
Although we have responsibilities to others, we are primarily accountable to God. It is before him that we stand, and to him that one day we must give an account. We should not therefore rate human opinion too highly.
John Stott
Image
Because in no other person but the historic Jesus of Nazareth has God become man and lived a human life on earth, died to bear the penalty of our sins, and been raised from death and exalted to glory, there is no other Savior, for there is no other person who is qualified to save.
John Stott
Image
We can all be stimulated to greater generosity by the known generosity of others.
John Stott
Image
It is a great comfort to know that our judge will be none other than our savior.
John Stott
Image
We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.
John Stott
Image
God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.
John Stott
Image
Indignation and compassion form a powerful combination. They are indispensable to vision, and therefore to leadership.
John Stott
Image
Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.
