The question is not, "Why is there only one way to God?" but "Why is there even one way?"

We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.

It is one thing to fall victim to the flood or to fall prey to cancer; it is another thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

We take comfort, however, that mystery is not a synonym for contradiction.

Modern man has lost any sense of God's nearness, but Christianity teaches that God reveals himself through every single thing he has ever brought into being, whether a created object or historical event.

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.

We are cosmic traitors. We must recognize this problem within ourselves if we are to grasp the necessity of the cross.
