When you don't have anything to lose, you discover something wonderful: you're free to take great risks without fear or reservation.

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

For the life of the believer, one thing is beautifully and abundantly true: God's chief concern in your suffering is to be with you and be himself for you.

The emphasis of the Bible is on the work of the Redeemer, not on the work of the redeemed.
