The gospel announces that God doesn't relate to us based on our feats for Jesus, but Jesus' feats for us.

My struggle isn't believing my performance can earn God's favor; my struggle is believing my performance can keep God's favor

The gospel alone liberates you to live a life of scandalous generosity, unrestrained sacrifice, uncommon valor, and unbounded courage.

Job's unraveling wasn't wrong or sinful; rather, it was emotionally realistic.

You see, the secret of the gospel is that we become more spiritually mature when we focus less on what we need to do for God and focus more on all that God has already done for us. The irony of the gospel is that we actually perform better as we grow in our understanding that our relationship with God is based on Christ's performance for us, not our performance for him.

To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism

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