We have no right to come before God at all, apart from the finished work of Christ.

The most violent expression of God's wrath and justice is seen in the Cross. If ever a person had room to complain for injustice, it was Jesus. He was the only innocent man ever to be punished by God. If we stagger at the wrath of God, let us stagger at the Cross. Here is where our astonishment should be focused.

God is not going to negotiate His holiness... in order to accommodate us.

The Spirit always communicates that He's for you when He convicts you of your sin.

Doctrine does matter.

True faith always produces real conformity to Christ.

God just doesn't throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.
