Unfortunately, some Christians are guilty of throwing out an equivalent sentiment when they play the God is sovereign card as a way to trump every evil that comes your way.
Tullian Tchividjian
Only when you realize that the gospel has nothing to do with your obedience but with Christ's obedience for you, will you start to obey. The only Christians who end up getting better are those who realize that if they don't get better, God will love them anyway.
Tullian Tchividjian
What is indisputable is the fact that unbelief is the force that gives birth to all of our bad behavior and every moral failure. It is the root.
Tullian Tchividjian
I'm not sure I'll ever fully understand why some Christians get mad when we say that the ultimate hero in the Bible is not Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, etc... but Jesus.
Tullian Tchividjian
The lifeblood of Christianity is not our persistence in moving toward God but God's persistence in moving toward us.
Tullian Tchividjian
In those moments when I'm obsessively counting my sins against me, it is good news to remember that God has counted my sins against Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
What kind of person should you be to someone who has fallen? The kind of person you will run to when you fall.
Tullian Tchividjian
As long as I am focusing on the faults of others, then I don't have to face my own.
Tullian Tchividjian
My struggle isn't believing my performance can earn God's favor my struggle is believing my performance can keep God's favor
Tullian Tchividjian
The heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace is upside-down, to-do-list wrecking, scandalous and way-too free. It's one-way love.
Tullian Tchividjian
The ironic thing about legalism is that it not only doesn't make people work harder, it makes them give up. Moralism doesn't produce morality rather, it produces immorality.
Tullian Tchividjian
Between writing, traveling, speaking, preaching, and doing my best to be a good husband to my wife and my three kids, that's about as much as one man or at least this man can do.
Tullian Tchividjian
Our deepest fear is judgment. Our deepest longing is love. The gospel of grace removes the one and provides the other.
Tullian Tchividjian
I was afraid that if I surrendered my life over to God, God would tell me not to do those things that I desperately wanted to do.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace could not have done it’s curing work if the law had not first done its crushing work.
Tullian Tchividjian
When God saved me, He gave me a thirst to learn and to read and to study. I thrived in college. I got a bachelor's degree in philosophy and then went to Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando.
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel doesn't just ignite the Christian life but it keeps Christians growing and growing every day. There's no reason to move beyond the gospel. There's only movement more into it.
Tullian Tchividjian
An identity based in the one-way love of God does not take into account public opinion or, thankfully, even personal opinion.
Tullian Tchividjian
The world tells us in a thousand different ways that the bigger we become, the freer we will be. The richer, the more beautiful, and the more powerful we grow, the more security, liberty, and happiness we will experience. And yet, the gospel tells us just the opposite, that the smaller we become, the freer we will be.
