For God to be righteous he must deal with our sin. This also he has done for us in Jesus. The holy law of God was lived out perfectly for us by Christ, and its penalty was paid perfectly for us by Christ. The living and dying of Christ for us, and this alone is the basis of our acceptance with God”

The law can no longer judge and condemn him. Instead he delights in the law of God according to the inner man and yearns for it day and night.”

Trying desperately to get others, including God, to make us happy, we cannot seem to catch a glimpse of the real story that gives us a meaningful role.”

“The gospel of cheerfulness, I had almost said the gospel of amusement, is preached by people who lack experience to people who lack vitality.
