How do you change your behavior? Change what you worship

As long as we think we are not that bad, the idea of grace will never change us.

Jesus lost all his glory so that we could be clothed in it. He was shut out so we could get access. He was bound, nailed, so that we could be free. He was cast out so we could approach. And Jesus took away the only kind of suffering that can really destroy you: that is being cast away from God. He took so that now all suffering that comes into your life will only make you great. A lump of coal under pressure becomes a diamond. And the suffering of a person in Christ only turns you into somebody gorgeous.

Nothing is more important than to learn how to maintain a life of purpose in the midst of painful adversity.

Religion says earn your life. Secular society says create your life. Jesus says, 'My life for your life.

The more you understand how your salvation isn't about your behavior, the more radically your behavior will change.

Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.
