Only when we're thoroughly convinced that the Christian life is entirely of grace are we able to serve God out of a grateful and loving heart.

The good news as Jesus preached it is not just about the minimal entrance requirements for getting into heaven when you die. It is about the glorious redemption of human life-your life.

We don't have eternal life because we're good, we have it because God is good.

Christ lived the life we could not live and took the punishment we could not take to offer the hope we cannot resist.

Grace is the free, unmerited favor of God, working powerfully on the mind and heart to change lives.

I'm still me, Malala. The important thing is God has given me my life.

I have since learned that the most mature believer is the one who is bent over, leaning most heavily on the Lord, and admitting his total inability to do anything without Christ. The greatest Christian is not the one who has achieved the most but rather the one who has received the most.

Just Give Me Jesus.

I became a conservative after a deeply profound spiritual awakening at which point I repented of my anger, and God allowed me to see reality.

As a pastor in a Protestant church, my whole ministry centers on the conviction that by grace we are saved through faith. And it's not our faith that delivers us, as if believing something, anything at all were pleasing to God. It's the object of our faith - Christ's life, death, and resurrection - that saves us.

Oh villain! Thou art condemned into everlasting redemption. Shakespeare, Much Ado about Nothing

Jesus is the only way because the Bible says it to be true. Why? Because only He can bridge the gap between God and man; there's no other way.
