In salvation, God both declares us guilty and pays our debt. Only he can satisfy his own requirements. A savior less than God would be disqualified; God must do it himself.

The work that God does in us when we wait is usually more important than the thing for which we wait!

Paul taught that religions evolved because man did not honor the true God. Because of rebellion, they "exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of the corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures."

To make sure our convictions, views, and assumptions about our Creator stay based on biblical truth and not on popular consensus, we must continually check what we believe against the Scriptures.

God has a program of character development for each of us. He wants others to look at our lives and say, He walks with God, for he lives like Christ.

The man who commits immorality does so because he thinks it will maximize pleasure if he can minimize the pain by keeping it secret.
