Top Highlights
“‘There isn’t any,’ meaning that at no time, if we are in Christ, can anyone or anything successfully bring a condemning charge against us that can separate us from who we are in Christ. Think about the word ‘condemnation.’ Condemnation is a kind of punishment, or condemning charge. Oftentimes we as believers experience false guilt and mental attacks from the enemy, or we subject ourselves to self-talk and put ourselves down. But according to this verse, that is not from Christ. There is no condemnation or punishment for those who are in Christ Jesus. What is amazing is there are no restrictions put on us other than that we be ‘in Christ’ to be free from condemnation.” (Page 41)
“No amount of proof seemed to leave an impression in her mind. So I simply told her that since she wanted to believe in God, she should live as though God was real. She took my advice. I saw her again about 12 months later, and I could hardly believe the change. Her choice to live like a follower of Jesus had worked its way into her beliefs. Now she was a true believer, and her decision to live as a Christian was just what she needed to become one.” (Page 78)
“Meditate before the event occurs, so you will be more likely to respond the way Jesus would respond in that situation. That’s what 1 Peter 1:13 reminds us to do: ‘Prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.’” (Page 49)
“Growing up to be like Jesus isn’t easy. But it will be even harder if you see yourself in light of your past rather than in light of who you are in Christ. The truth is that you’ve been changed and are free to grow in God’s grace and be all that He has called you to be.” (Pages 13–14)
