The atonement is a multifaceted event-Jesus is shown providing surety for our debt to God, mediating the enmity between us and God, and offering Himself as a substitute to suffer God's judgment in our place.

Grace and mercy are never deserved.

Sometimes we behave and perform with our lives, not for God, but for an audience.

If there ever was a time when absolutely nothing existed, all there could possibly be now is nothing.

I believe it to be one of the most important discipleship resources we have produced at Ligonier.

Before I can call upon Christ as my Savior, I have to understand that I need a savior. I have to understand that I am a sinner. I have to have some understanding of what sin is.I have to understand that God exists. I have to understand that I am estranged from that God, and that I am exposed to that God's judgment. I don't reach out for a savior unless I am first convinced that I need a savior. All of that is pre-evangelism. It is involved in the data or the information that a person has to process with his mind before he can either respond to it in faith or reject it in unbelief.

The worst sin against stewardship is to waste your life.
