The gospel has done its work in us when we crave God more than we crave everything else in life - more than money, romance, family, health, fame - and when seeing His kingdom advance in the lives of others gives us more joy than anything we could own. When we see Jesus as greater than anything the world can offer, we'll gladly let everything else go to possess Him.
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. GreearFocusing on what we ought to do for God creates only frustration and exhaustion; focusing on what Jesus has done for us produces abundant fruit. Resting in what Jesus has done for us releases the revolutionary power of the gospel.
J. D. GreearBeing converted to Jesus is learning to so adore God that we would gladly renounce everything we have to follow Him.
