Jesus was not just a prophet but the fulfillment of all prophecy.
Sincere biblical repentance is as much a work of grace as not sinning in the first place. To err is human, to make progress is divine.
Most everyone I know feels frazzled and overwhelmed most of the time.
Why should we think that we wouldn't have a cross to carry? Are we somehow more deserving than our Lord?
Sanctification is not by surrender, but by divinely enabled toil and effort.
No one can hate you in this life more than Jesus was hated.
