People who know they are not good make the best messengers of grace because they are desperately aware of their own need for it.

In the Old Testament, we are continually told that our good works are not enough, that God has made a provision. This provision is pointed to at every place in the Old Testament.

As long as I am focusing on the faults of others, then I don't have to face my own.

Once God saves us He doesn't move us beyond the gospel, but He moves us more deeply into the gospel.

Spiritual growth is marked by a growing realization of just how much grace you need.

The law demands that we do it all; the gospel declares that Jesus paid it all.

The gospel doesn't just ignite the Christian life but it keeps Christians growing and growing every day. There's no reason to move beyond the gospel. There's only movement more into it.
