“Our only genuine security lies in our relationship with Jesus Christ. That is universally applicable because God is sovereign, which means that God is in control. He ‘guides and governs all events, circumstances, and free acts of angels and men and directs everything to its appointed goal for His own glory’ (The New Bible Dictionary). Your security lies in His power to work everything for your good and His glory.” (Page 72)
“Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen’ (Heb. 11:1 nasb).” (Page 6)
“You gain a sense of His presence. Isaiah knew immediately that he was in the presence of the living God. When the meeting ended, Isaiah walked away a changed man. You cannot experience God’s presence and be the same; God’s holiness is life changing, and through the Holy Spirit, He lives inside you forever.” (Page 317)
“The wonder of the Cross is not in death but in the eternal changes it brings.” (Page 102)
“Every time we are called to obey God, our faith is challenged and our true nature revealed.” (Page 21)
