If the depths of everyone's sin was made public, we would all be much more gracious to each other.

Our minds are affected by sin. Our hearts are affected by sin. Our wills are affected by sin. Our bodies are affected by sin.

Legalism says God will love us if we change. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us.

What kind of person should you be to someone who has fallen? The kind of person you will run to when you fall.

God's ability to clean things up is infinitely greater than our ability to mess things up.

If you look at the gospel, it just doesn't break things apart. The gospel brings things together. One of the great demonstration of the gospel's power is reconciliation.
