The law is God's first word; the gospel is God's final word.

Our assurance is anchored in the love and grace of God expressed in the glorious exchange: our sin for His righteousness.

There's absolutely no way you can feel the freedom to embarrass and humiliate yourself unless you have finally recognized that your identity is in someone other than yourself.

God is the one to be praised, not our transformation.

My observation of Christendom is that most of us tend to base our relationship with God on our performance instead of on His grace.

As long as I am focusing on the faults of others, then I don't have to face my own.

I was spending too much time thinking about how I was doing, if I was learning everything I was supposed to be learning during this difficult season, whether I was doing it right or not, taking my spiritual pulse, etc - my inner lawyer was working overtime.
