Paul for Everyone Quotes

“Genesis 15 describes the covenant God made with Abraham, promising him a great family, and the land as its inheritance; the critical move was that, when God made the first promise, Abraham believed it. That doesn’t mean that his faith earned his membership in God’s covenant; the promise was already made.”
― Tom Wright, Paul for Everyone: Galatians and Thessalonians

“We are all different, and as the old Puritans said, God does not break all hearts in the same way. But it is a central strand of most Christian living that everybody needs, from time to time, to wrestle privately with God and his will.”
― Tom Wright, Paul for Everyone: Galatians and Thessalonians
