The Christian faith gives us a new conception of work as the means by which God loves and cares for his world through us.

Jesus didn't come to tell us the answers to the questions of life, he came to be the answer.

Christ literally walked in our shoes and entered into our affliction. Those who will not help others until they are destitute reveal that Christ's love has not yet turned them into the sympathetic persons the gospel should make them.

The Cross is not simply a lovely example of sacrificial love. Throwing your life away needlessly is not admirable — it is wrong. Jesus’ death was only a good example if it was more than an example, if it was something absolutely necessary to rescue us. And it was. Why did Jesus have to die in order to forgive us? There was a debt to be paid — God himself paid it. There was a penalty to be born — God himself bore it. Forgiveness is always a form of costly suffering.

You are under-qualified for the job of God.

I am accepted by God through the work of Jesus Christ - therefore I obey

Reason can get you to probability, but only commitment can get you to certainty.
