If there's anything in life that we should be passionate about, it's the gospel. And I don't mean passionate only about sharing it with others. I mean passionate about thinking about it, dwelling on it, rejoicing in it, allowing it to color the way we look at the world. Only one thing can be of first importance to each of us. And only the gospel ought to be.

Today, the greatest challenge facing American evangelicals is not persecution from the world, but seduction by the world.

Never be content with your current grasp of the gospel.

The weakest believer and the strongest saint are alike equally justified. Justification admits no degrees. A man is either wholly justified or wholly condemned in the sight of God.

What joy the gospel gives me! I can approach the throne of God with confidence-not because I've done a good job at my spiritual duties, but because I'm clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

We don't accidentally drift into holiness; rather we mature gradually and purposefully, one choice at a time.

Reminding ourselves of the gospel is the most important daily habit we can establish.
