“Only the gospel can truly save you. The gospel doesn't make good people good; it makes dead people alive. That's the difference between the gospel of Jesus Christ and every other world religion. All the others exhort their followers to save themselves by being good, by conforming their lives to whatever their worshiped deity is. But the gospel is God's acceptance of us based on what Christ has done, not on what we can do.” PeopleWorldDoneJesusChristCan DoDifferencesAliveAcceptanceJesus ChristBe GoodFollowersGood PeopleConformDeitiesOther WorldsDead PeopleWorld Religions Author:Tullian Tchividjian

“There is nothing--no circumstance, no trouble, no testing--that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no circumstance will cause me to fret, for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is--that is the rest of victory!” IfsLoveFirstsHeartMaySoulMomentsGodEyeChristianPastJoyPurposeJesusCausesUnderstandingChristMy OwnAcceptingLordGoneTroubleAcceptanceBecomingVictoryCircumstancesSorrowBlessingRefuseChristian InspirationalLiftsTouchingTrust In GodThronesPastorTestingCommitment To GodConfidence In GodGod Within UsTouch MeGod Is In ControlGod Works In Mysterious Ways Author:Alan Redpath
“I never realized how much I've become dependent on human approval until God took it away. I didn't even realize that I was in a self-made prison of human approval and human acceptance. Most of the prisons we live in we are not conscious of. God showed me Jesus plus nothing equals everything. And everything minus Jesus equals nothing.

“The gospel is saying that, what man cannot do in order to be accepted with God, this God Himself has done for us in the person of Jesus Christ. To be acceptable to God we must present to God a life of perfect and unceasing obedience to his will. The gospel declares that Jesus has done this for us. 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.
