Christianity is not "Jesus is our example." Christianity is "Jesus is our substitute."

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

Christian growth doesn't happen by first behaving better, but by believing better--believi ng in bigger, deeper, brighter ways what Christ has already secured for sinners.

Every time we sin in thought, word, or deed, we're essentially saying in that moment that, "I don't need you God. I don't want you God. I like my way better than your way."

The gospel doesn't just free me from what people think of me, but also from what I think of me.

The deepest cry of the human heart is to be loved without condition, no matter what. The gospel of grace announces that you are.

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.
