Even one who has been to God a million times with the same problem need not fear exhausting the grace of God.
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 TchividjianOnly when we see that the way of God's law is absolutely inflexible will we see that God's grace is absolutely indispensable. A high view of the law reminds us that God accepts us on the basis of Christ's perfection, not our progress. Grace, properly understood, is the movement of a holy God toward an unholy people. He doesn't cheapen the law or ease its requirements. He fulfills them in his Son, who then gives his righteousness to us. That's the gospel. Pure and simple.
Tullian TchividjianThankfully, while our self-righteousness reaches far, God's grace reaches farther.
