Top Highlights
“From this passage, Ingram identifies five relationships and characteristics of an authentic disciple: Disciples are surrendered to God (12:1), separate from the world’s value system (12:2), sober in self-assessment (12:3–8), dedicated to serving others in love (12:9–13) and respond supernaturally to evil with good (12:14–21).” (source)
“If you are a praying Christian, Zacharias says, ‘Your faith in Christ will carry you. If not, you will have to carry your faith—it will become quite exhausting.’” (source)
“‘The truth does not transform lives. The truth applied transforms lives.’” (source)
“‘Jesus does not change what you do; he changes what you want to do. That is part of the new birth. There are new levels of performance—not because of pride, but because of love.’” (source)
“The Bible is obviously not referencing Eastern-style meditation where one empties their mind. Meditating on something in Scripture means we are to ponder, consider and think deeply about it. Better to read one chapter of Scripture with comprehension than 10 chapters without it.’” (source)
