I readily confess that, when it comes to my salvation, God and I each contributed our own part:
I did all the sinning.
He did all the saving.
Soli Deo Gloria! Salvation belongs to the LORD!
“The goal of the Christian life is not external conformity or mindless action, but a passionate love for God informed by the mind and embraced by the will.”
― John Owen, Overcoming Sin and Temptation
Oftentimes, the thing lacking in the lives of most Christians is not more clarity on the gospel, but integrity to the gospel.
Gospel faithfulness is what we need.
We serve God by using and enjoying temporal things gratefully, with a sense of their value to him, their Maker, and of his generosity in giving them to us.
— J.I. Packer, Growing in Christ
Dear weary, doubting Christian:
Since the Father sent Jesus for you while you were a stranger, you can be assured that He will sustain you in Him now that you are a son.
Trust and rest in His grace today.
“The situation would surely have been hopeless had the very majesty of God not descended to us, since it was not in our power to ascend to him."
— Calvin
