The very character of God, the character He is forming in each of us is the story of His amazing grace.
Jesus longs to bring you comfort and healing. His plan for you is good and will be for your good. Be strong and courageous, friend!
The center of Christianity is the coming of the Son of God into the world as a real man to destroy the works of the devil and create a new people for His own glory. The very heart of our faith is that He did this by obeying the law of God, dying for the sins of His people, rising victorious over death, and ascending to God’s right hand with all His enemies under his feet. The second coming of Christ is the completion of His saving work. If you take it away, the whole fabric of His saving work unravels.
~John Piper~
Life sometimes feels out of control. But remember—when it feels like it’s out of control, it’s really only out of your control. God’s got it.

We have to get rid of this idea that the world will be reached by the ministers alone. All those who have drunk of the cup of salvation must pass it around. D.L. Moody
"I have no fellowship of any sort or kind with a slave-holder." —

Be half a Christian, and you shall have enough religion to make you miserable; be wholly a Christian and your joy shall be full.

God did not cancel the debt we owe for sin. Instead, Jesus paid our debt in full on the cross, and all who do not receive him by faith will pay the debt in eternal punishment (Rom. 5:8).
Our hearts must go to Christ for salvation, and we must go nowhere else.
Jonathan Edwards
It is far better for you should have the sweet and saving impressions of gospel truths, feelingly and powerfully conveyed to your hearts, than only to understand them by bare (ratiocination) methodical reasoning, or dry syllogistical inference.
"Since our good works did not win God's affection, bad works cannot sever that affection." — Charles Spurgeon
We aren't accepted by God because of our obedience. We are accepted by God because Christ was perfectly obedient.
We can never pay God for the sins we have committed against him by anything we can do. Christ has done it for us. Jonathan Edwards
"Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay:
Mold me and make me After Thy will,
While I am waiting, Yielded and still."
-Adelaide Pollard.

There is not an atom of the universe in which God’s power and divinity are not revealed. Herman Bavinck
