Only the gospel can truly save you. The gospel doesn't make bad people good; it makes dead people alive...the gospel is God's acceptance of us based on what Christ has done, not on what we can do.

Legalism breeds a sense of entitlement that turns us into complainers.

The heart of sanctification is the life which feeds on justification.

What I'm most deeply grateful for is that God's love for us, approval of us, and commitment to us does not ride on our resolve but on Jesus' resolve for us. The gospel is the good news announcing Jesus' infallible devotion to us despite our inconsistent devotion to Him. The gospel is not a command to hang on to Jesus; it's a promise that no matter how weak and unsuccessful our faith and efforts may be, God is always holding on to us.

Grace is unconditional acceptance given to an undeserving person by an unobligated giver.

From the time God saved me at 21 years old, I've always been fascinated by the parables of Jesus.
