Success and suffering will either darken your heart or make you wise, but they won't leave you where you were.
Timothy KellerMost people in the world believe that if there is a God, you relate to God by being good. Most religions are based on that principle, though there are a million different variations on it...But they all have the same logic: If I perform, if I obey, Iām accepted. The gospel of Jesus is not only different from that but diametrically opposed to it: Iām fully accepted in Jesus Christ, and therefore I obey.
