When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.

The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change, that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. God’s love is the only thing like that.

Grace is the free, unmerited favor of God, working powerfully on the mind and heart to change lives.

The Gospel is that Jesus Christ came to earth, lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died.
