Christ died so that we could live through Him, with Him, and for Him.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

Ambassadors don’t represent themselves—they represent whoever who sent them.
And as Christians, we are ambassadors for Christ.
So our opinions, priorities, and lifestyle should be focused on Christ, not ourselves.

A butterfly that kept acting like a caterpillar would’ve forgotten its transformation.

And a Christian who lives like a lost person has forgotten what Christ has made them.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature…” —2 Corinthians 5:17

Loving God with all your mind results in caring about doctrine.

@Xtopher_Uzo Maybe it’s the fact that one of the is actually affirmed in the Bible

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

Joseph resisted temptation not because he might get caught and be in trouble.
His reason was, “How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
Our desire to obey God should always be our motivation not to sin.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

We spend so much time chasing the things we already have in Christ.
The world promises satisfaction but always leaves us empty.
Only Christ can truly fulfill our greatest needs.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

When we die, all our earthly possessions will become worthless to us, and our only treasures will be our Heavenly ones.
Some of us will be broke if we don’t change our ways.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

Holiness isn’t just saying “no” to sin.
It’s saying “yes” to God.
It’s a separation from sin and toward God.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

Only a fool would say something like, “Don’t give me theology, just give me Jesus.”
Because without proper theology, you can’t even know Who Jesus is.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

You can know a lot about God without actually knowing God.
Christianity isn’t just learning facts.
It’s having a relationship with Jesus Christ.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

Sometimes God has to rewrite your story.
Not because He changed His plan, but because your plan wasn’t His.
So give God the pen—He’s a far better Author than you.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

No burden is too big for Jesus to carry.
No burden is too little for Jesus to care for.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

God values men and women equally, while also giving them different roles.
Men and women are equal, but they are not the same.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

If you don’t feel any godly anger about sin, then you’re not passionate enough about God.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

The complementarian position has never been that God can’t use women (the Bible is filled with women whom God greatly used.)
Our position is that women aren’t biblically permitted to pastor (which is made clear in 1 Timothy 2 and 3).

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

Circumstances are constantly changing, but God never does.
If your peace depends on your situation, then it will constantly disappear.
If your peace depends on God, then you’ll always have it.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

Philippians 4:13 isn’t about success and accomplishing your dreams.
It’s about remaining content in every circumstance.
Jesus gives us the strength to be content.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

If you discovered the cure for cancer, you’d tell everyone. It’d be selfish not to.
As Christians, we have something even greater: the gospel, which is the cure for sin.
It’d be selfish for us not to share the gospel with the world.

[David Cipriano @itsdavidcip]

You can’t make a difference for God until God has first made a difference in you.
Before God works through you, He must work in you.
