Thinking that I deserve heaven is a sure sign I have no understanding of the gospel.

God does something to us as well as for us through the cross. He persuades us that He loves us.

When I know that Christ is the one real sacrifice for my sins, that His work on my behalf has been accepted by God, that He is my heavenly Intercessor - then His blood is the antidote to the poison in the voices that echo in my conscience, condemning me for my many failures. Indeed, Christ's shed blood chokes them into silence!

Even those of us who have weak faith have the same strong Christ as others!

Most Christians have more Bibles than they know what to do with, but have little understanding of what is in them.

The determining factor of my existence is no longer my past.

Remember that you are not saved by increased levels of holiness, however desirable it is that you should reach them. ...It is Christ who saves us-through faith. Your faith is a poor and crumbling thing, as is your spiritual service. Jesus Christ alone is qualified and able to save you because of what He has done.
