A married person does not live in isolation. He or she has made a promise, a pledge, a vow, to another person. Until that vow is fulfilled and the promise is kept, the individual is in debt to his marriage partner. That is what he owes. 'You owe it to yourself' is not a valid excuse for breaking a marriage vow but a creed of selfishness.
R. C. SproulWe may live in a culture that believes everyone will be saved, that we are 'justified by death' and all you need to do to go to heaven is die, but Godโs Word certainly doesnโt give us the luxury of believing that.
R. C. SproulThe idea of being the Substitute in offering an atonement to satisfy the demands of Godโs law for others was something Christ understood as His mission from the moment He entered this world and took upon Himself a human nature. He came from heaven as the gift of the Father for the express purpose of working out redemption as our Substitute, doing for us what we could not possibly do for ourselves.
R. C. SproulA loving God who has no wrath is no God. He is an idol of our own making as much as if we carved Him out of stone.
