We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.
The most violent expression of God's wrath and justice is seen in the Cross. If ever a person had room to complain for injustice, it was Jesus. He was the only innocent man ever to be punished by God. If we stagger at the wrath of God, let us stagger at the Cross. Here is where our astonishment should be focused.
There are many today who believe that there are people running around this world right now who are performing greater miracles, performing miracles in greater abundance, and actually doing more incredible acts of divine healing than Jesus himself did. I can’t think of any more serious delusion than that...
There are only two ways that God’s justice can be satisfied with respect to your sin. Either you satisfy it or Christ satisfies it. You can satisfy it by being banished from God’s presence forever. Or you can accept the satisfaction that Jesus Christ has made.
It's because Jesus spoke so frequently about hell that the church should take the concept seriously.
Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. He is the Seeker; we are the ones who are running.
God Himself supplies the necessary condition to come to Jesus, that's why it is 'sola gratia,' by grace alone, that we are saved.
This means that if a person fulfills his or her vocation as a steelmaker, attorney, or homemaker coram Deo, then that person is acting every bit as religiously as a soul-winning evangelist who fulfills his vocation. It means that David was as religious when he obeyed God’s call to be a shepherd as he was when he was anointed with the special grace of kingship. It means that Jesus was every bit as religious when He worked in His father’s carpenter shop as He was in the Garden of Gethsemane.
The resurrection was God the Father's way of authenticating all of the truths that were declared by Jesus.
The gospel of Jesus Christ must be defended in every generation. It is always the center of attack by the forces of evil.
The atonement is a multifaceted event-Jesus is shown providing surety for our debt to God, mediating the enmity between us and God, and offering Himself as a substitute to suffer God's judgment in our place.
I get irritated when I hear preachers say, "Come to Jesus and all your problems will be over." That's just simply a lie.
Unbelief is judged by Jesus not as an intellectual error but as a hostile act of prejudice against God himself.
The gospel is the proclamation of the person and work of Jesus Christ and how those benefits can be applied to us by faith alone.
