Salvation is not a prayer you pray in a one-time ceremony and then move on from; salvation is a posture of repentance and faith that you begin in a moment and maintain for the rest of your life.
J. D. GreearAs we see the beauty of God and feel His weightiness in our hearts, our hearts begin to desire Him more than we desire sin. Before the Bible says,"Stop sinning", it says,"Behold your God".
J. D. GreearWhen we realize how great a debt we owe to God, we become willing servants, eager to be poured out for God and His Kingdom.
J. D. GreearSatan's primary temptation strategy is to try and make us forget what God has said about us and to evaluate our standing before God by some other criteria
J. D. GreearTrue religion is when you serve God to get nothing else but more of God. Many people use religion as a way of getting something else from God they want-blessings, rewards, even escape from judgement. This is wearisome to us, and to God. But when God is His own reward, Christianity becomes thrilling. Sacrifice becomes joy.
