1You can’t give anything to God or do anything for God that he hasn’t first given to you and done for you.
Fear not. Your adversaries can do no more than God grants. And he will grant you the faith you need. Those are gospel promises.
Nothing will separate us from the love of Christ because Christ is alive and is still loving us right now.
God loves us so much that he will not allow our preciousness to become our god.
In the old covenant, the gracious enabling power to obey God was not poured out as fully as it is since Jesus.
If you feel vulnerable, you can say to God, “Lord, help me. I’m not even sure how to pray.” Trust that he will respond and will help you.

God rejoices in the works of creation because they point us beyond themselves to God himself.
The sweetest experience of God’s love is conditional on our transformation into the kind of people whose emotions and choices and actions please God.
Day and night are saying one thing: God is glorious! Turn away from the creation as your supreme satisfaction, and delight yourself in the Lord of glory.
God is love precisely because he relentlessly pursues the praises of his name in the hearts of his people.
If God loves us enough to make our joy full, he must not only give us himself; he must also win from us the praise of our hearts.
God’s pursuit of praise from us and our pursuit of pleasure in him are the same pursuit.
The Bible is a window that opens onto the sunrise glory of the risen Christ.
