The good news of the gospel [for sufferers] is not an exhortation from above to 'hang on at all costs,' or 'grin and bear it' in the midst of hardship. No, the good news is that God is hanging on to you, and in the end, when all is said and done, the power of God will triumph over every pain and loss.

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.

The Bible makes it clear that self-righteousness is the premier enemy of the Gospel.

Our deepest fear is judgment. Our deepest longing is love. The gospel of grace removes the one and provides the other.

Because of Jesus the sin we cannot forget God does not remember.
