Top Highlights

“Put most simply, the gospel is an announcement—a declaration. The gospel is not advice to be followed; it is news, good (eu) news about what has been done.” (Page 12)

“The main problem of our heart is not so much desires for bad things, but our over-desires for good things, our turning of created, good things into gods, objects of our worship and service.” (Page 29)

“This is an obedience that comes from faith—that springs from a wholehearted trust in Jesus, God’s Son. Obedience flows out of faith; it is a consequence of saving faith, not a second condition for salvation.” (Page 14)

“God’s judgment on godlessness and wickedness is to give us what we want.” (Page 29)

“But the Greek word underlying it, elpis, means a conviction. Christian hope is not a hopeful wish—it is a hope-filled certainty.” (Page 111)
