God never intended for us to simply be the objects of His love. We are also called to be the instruments of that love in the lives of others.
Paul David TrippHuman self-righteousness denies the need for the saving, enabling grace of Christ. Human righteousness embraces the cruelest of Satan's lies, that a person can be righteous by keeping the law. If that were true, there would have been no need for the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ.
Paul David TrippToday you will envy the blessings of another, or you will bask in the wonder of the amazing grace you have been given.
Paul David TrippThe more you understand the magnitude of God's grace, the more accurate will be your view of the depth of your unrighteousness ; and the more you understand the depth of your unrighteousness , the more you will appreciate the magnitude of God's gift of grace.
