Quote

The cross guarantees that even in your darkest moment God will never turn in disgust and walk away. There is no rebellion, no weakness, no foolishness, no evil of heart that the cross can't defeat and grace can't transform.

More quotes by Paul David Tripp

Image
When your sin is exposed, you will run toward confession and forgiveness or self-righteousness and self-justification.
Paul David Tripp
Image
Only love for Christ has the power to incapacitate the sturdy love for self that is the bane of every sinner, and only the grace of Christ has the power to produce that love.
Paul David Tripp
Image
Human self-righteousness denies the need for the saving, enabling grace of Christ. Human righteousness embraces the cruelest of Satan's lies, that a person can be righteous by keeping the law. If that were true, there would have been no need for the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ.
Paul David Tripp
Image
The kingdom of self tends to be more focused on what the hands can touch than what the heart should embrace.
Paul David Tripp
Image
Our sin is what separates us from God, but it's our self righteousness that keeps us from running to Him for the grace He willingly gives to all who come.
Paul David Tripp
Image
Every time you ask for forgiveness, you recognize that the biggest problems you face in life exist inside of you, not outside of you.
Paul David Tripp
Image
Foolishness is more than being stupid, that deadly combination of arrogance and ignorance.
Paul David Tripp
Image
Corporate worship is a regular gracious reminder that it's not about you. You've been born into a life that is a celebration of another.
Paul David Tripp
Image
The more you understand the magnitude of God's grace, the more accurate will be your view of the depth of your unrighteousness and the more you understand the depth of your unrighteousness , the more you will appreciate the magnitude of God's gift of grace.

The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed.
Paul David Tripp
Image
God never intended for us to simply be the objects of His love. We are also called to be the instruments of that love in the lives of others.
Paul David Tripp
Image
God's grace doesn't always come in comfortable forms. But it's still grace, and it's still evidence that He loves us.
Paul David Tripp
Image
See yourself and weep. See your God and rejoice.
Paul David Tripp
Image
God's design in our pain enables us to look back and say: He loves me enough to take me where I would have never wanted to go in order to produce in me what I never could have achieved on my own.
Paul David Tripp
Image
We were meant to do more than make sure that all of our needs are fulfilled and all our desires are satisfied. We were never meant to be self-focused little kings ruling miniscule little kingdoms with a population of one.
Paul David Tripp
Image
Remember, when you're sinned against its tempting to respond sinfully. Don't give in, talk to your heart and seek the grace of Jesus.
Paul David Tripp
Image
Sin makes us moral quadriplegics.
Paul David Tripp
Image
We must begin by admitting that people and situations do not cause us to speak as we do. Our hearts control our words. People and situations simply provide the occasion for the heart to express itself.
Paul David Tripp
Image
Harboring bitterness against people is actually confessing their sin to myself, over and over again. Anger is akin to confessing their sin to God, dissatisfied that he hasn't done something and placing myself in his position as judge.
Paul David Tripp
Image
Sin is much more than doing the wrong thing. It begins withloving, worshiping, and serving the wrong thing.
