The Bible’s warnings are written that you might believe and endure, and have life.
Satan cannot destroy us. In fact, God turns all his attacks finally against him and for us.
Becoming a Christian and being a Christian happen in the same way: by hoping in Jesus.
When anxiety blurs our vision of God’s glory, it does not mean that we are faithless. It means our faith is being attacked.
One day, we will see God’s glory, and marvel at it in such a way that he will be glorified in us for all the world to see.
It is possible to pursue God without glorifying God. If we want our quest to honor God, we must pursue him for the joy of fellowship with him.
There are precious experiences of the love of God that require that we fight pride, seek humility, and cherish the nearness of God.
Loving acts are genuine to the degree that they are not done begrudgingly.
Being a Christian is a very serious business, though not a sour business. We are simply blood-earnest about being happy in our great salvation.
What you thought was a mere struggle with an anxious disposition might really be a far deeper struggle with trusting God.
It is truer in suffering than anywhere else that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.
Whether we focus on the riches of the reward or the refining effects of suffering, God’s purpose is that our joy in suffering be sustained.
We exhibit the sufferings of Christ when we ourselves suffer for those we are trying to win.
God designs suffering not only as a way to wean Christians off of self and onto grace, but also as a way to spotlight that grace and make it shine.
Be satisfied in Jesus so that you do not get lured downstream by deceitful desires.
Suffering proves our allegiance to Christ’s goodness and reveals his worth as an all-sufficient prize.
Jesus himself makes up for every sacrifice he will ever call us to make. It is worth it to lose it all in order to gain Christ.
God has a people in every people group. He will call them through the gospel with Creator power. And they will believe!
“All things are possible with God!” — in front the words give hope, and behind they give humility. They are the antidote to both despair and pride.
God’s call is irresistible in the sense that it can overcome all resistance. It is infallibly effective according to God’s purpose.
Jesaiah Kim
God is infinitely energetic with absolutely unbounded and unending enthusiasm for the fulfilment of his delight.
Paulo Francisco
