In consequence of our limited ideas of the sufferings of Christ, we place a low estimate upon the great work of the atonement. The glorious plan of man's salvation was brought about through the infinite love of God the Father. In this divine plan is seen the most marvelous manifestation of the love of God to the fallen race.

In each soul, God loves and partly saves the whole world which that soul sums up in an incommunicable and particular way.

Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man.

It would upset us, but would we think it unloving if a doctor told us we had a potentially fatal cancer? And would the doctor not tell us if the cancer could be eradicated? Why then do we not tell unsaved people about the cancer of sin and evil and how the inevitable penalty of eternal destruction can be avoided by the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ?

When Christ died on the cross for us, he said, It is finished (John 19:30). The Greek word translated it is finished was commonly written across certificates of debt when they were canceled. It meant paid in full. Christ died so that the certificate of debt, consisting of all our sins, could once and for all be marked paid in full.

For every American who believes he's going to Hell, there are 120 who believe they're going to Heaven.

Life on earth matters not because it's the only life we have, but precisely because it isn't—it's the beginning of a life that will continue without end.

Heaven, then, is not our default destination. No one goes there automatically. Unless our sin problem is dealt with, the only place we can go is Hell, our true default destination when we die.

God does something to us as well as for us through the cross. He persuades us that He loves us." —Sinclair Ferguson

should have lived. But then it was too late! As long as they're alive, there's still one thing they can do to stay out of hell. But once they're dead, there's nothing they can do to get out of hell.

It is Satan's desire to destroy the world. God's intent is not to destroy the world but to deliver it from destruction. His plan is to redeem this fallen world, which he designed for greatness.
