The grace of God sets us free from a life of perfection, performing, and pretending.
Tullian TchividjianWhen we imply that our works are for God and not our neighbor, we perpetuate the idea that God's love for us is dependent on what we do instead of on what Christ has done.
Tullian TchividjianGod's grace is so counterintuitive and everything we do in our life is just based on conditions. You do this for me and I'll do that for you. Or if you don't do this for me, I won't do that for you. And God's grace works in a completely different direction.
Tullian TchividjianThe focus of the Christian faith is not our morality; it is Jesus, who died for our immorality.
