The gospel is not about a lifestyle that we live, it's about the law-fulfilling life that Christ lived.

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

Performancism is the mindset that equates our identity and value directly with our performance and accomplishments.

Jesus has done everything for you.

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.

Only the gospel can truly save you. The gospel doesn't make good people good; it makes dead people alive. That's the difference between the gospel of Jesus Christ and every other world religion. All the others exhort their followers to save themselves by being good, by conforming their lives to whatever their worshiped deity is. But the gospel is God's acceptance of us based on what Christ has done, not on what we can do.

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