Top Highlights
“The biblical hope entails physical resurrection, not just spiritual release to heaven.” (Page 137)
“Who I am can only be determined in relation to who Jesus is—the God-man, our Redeemer, my Savior.” (Page 26)
“There is no authentic ecclesiology apart from a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.” (Page 26)
“The believer’s worldview contrasts decisively with that of the unbeliever. The believer knows that the God who made this world is the God who judged it decisively with a flood (vv. 5–6). And the believer knows that the God who renewed the world after the flood will one day bring the world to a fiery judgment (v. 7). Though His hand presently is stayed by patience, at any moment His deserved wrath will be unleashed upon wickedness (vv. 8–10).” (Page 172)
“Sanctification is not me-oriented, it’s we-oriented. Its focus is Christ, by the power of the Spirit—but its purpose is community-oriented.” (Page 28)
