Quotes about Sacrifice

Greed is not defined by what something costs; it is measured by what it costs you. If anything costs you your faith or your family, the price is too high. Such is the point Jesus makes in the parable of the portfolio.

You come before the judgment seat of God full of rebellion and mistakes. Because of his justice he cannot dismiss your sin, but because of his love he cannot dismiss you. So, in an act which stunned the heavens, he punished himself on the cross for your sins. God's justice and love are equally honored. And you, God's creation, are forgiven.

The maker of the stars would rather die for you than live without you. And that is a fact. So if you need to brag, brag about that.

What is this love that endures decades, passes on sleep, and resists death to give one kiss? Call it agape love, a love that bears a semblance of God's.

He took on your face in the hope that you would see his.

PRECIOUS AS IT IS TO PROCLAIM,          Ãƒ¢Ã¢'¬Ã…"CHRIST DIED FOR THE WORLD,"          EVEN SWEETER IT IS TO WHISPER,          Ãƒ¢Ã¢'¬Ã…"CHRIST DIED FOR ME.

Mark it down. God does not save us because of what we've done. Only a puny god could be bought with tithes. Only an egotistical god would be impressed with our pain. Only a temperamental god could be satisfied by sacrifices. Only a heartless god would sell salvation to the highest bidders.
