As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.

No sinner has the right to say with impunity, 'God you owe me grace.' If grace is owed, it is not grace. The very essence of grace is its voluntary character. God reserves to himself the sovereign, absolute right to give grace to some and withhold that grace from others.

Fallen man is free to choose what he desires, but because his desires are only wicked he lacks the moral ability to come to Christ. As long as he remains in the flesh, unregenerate, he will never choose Christ. He cannot choose Christ precisely because he cannot act against his own will. His fall is so great that only the effectual grace of God working in his heart can bring him to faith.

If you don't know you're in a state of grace, then you're vulnerable to the paralysis of the accusations of the enemy.

Genuine love for Jesus manifests itself in obedience to His commandments.

The power of the gospel is the word of God . . . nobody needs a gospel if there’s no judgment, or law, if God is not a God of judgment. If there is no such thing as hell, what good is the gospel?

You are required to believe, to preach, and to teach what the Bible says is true, not what you want the Bible to say is true.
