Scripture does not say that God is 'love, love, love' or that He is 'wrath, wrath, wrath,' but that He is 'holy, holy, holy.'

The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.

Disciples of Christ abide in His Word. Those who abide in His Word know the truth and are free.

Without God man has no reference point to define himself.

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

Loving a holy God is beyond our moral power. The only kind of God we can love by our sinful nature is an unholy god, an idol made by our own hands. Unless we are born of the Spirit of God, unless God sheds His holy love in our hearts, unless He stoops in His grace to change our hearts, we will not love Him... To love a holy God requires grace, grace strong enough to pierce our hardened hearts and awaken our moribund souls.

One might pray and not be a Christian, but one cannot be a Christian and not pray.
