Christianity is fundamentally convalescence.. .God is not only the doctor who prescribes, He is the nurse who lifts up our powerless head and puts the spoon in our mouth...And He is the medicine.
John PiperThe assurance of the believer is not that God will save him even if he stops believing, but that God will keep him believing--God will sustain you in faith, he will make your hope firm and stable to the end. He will cause you to persevere.
John PiperGod is infinitely valuable. I can't think of anything that would have a greater impact on your life than for you to believe that.
John PiperThe only answer in these modern times, as in all other times, is the blood of Christ. When our conscience rises up and condemns us, where will we turn? We turn to Christ. We turn to the suffering and death of Christโthe blood of Christ. This is the only cleansing agent in the universe that can give the conscience relief in life and peace in death.
