Though the Bible was written over sixteen centuries by at least forty authors, it has one central theme-salvation through faith in Christ.
Max LucadoYou come before the judgment seat of God full of rebellion and mistakes. Because of his justice he cannot dismiss your sin, but because of his love he cannot dismiss you.
