Gospel Deeps Quotes

“The work is done. This is the great message of the good news: he has done it! We can hope in our suffering, then, that the finished work of Christ, when believed with our hearts, is the catalyst to the refining work begun in us. The gospel tells us that we are forgiven from sin, that we stand under grace, that we have the blessed hope of Christ’s return, that we will be resurrected as he was, and that we stand to receive the inheritance of Christ’s rich presence in the new heavens and the new earth.”

“we are saved for obedience, not by it. See, again, Ephesians 2:10. Heed Augustine: “For grace is given not because we have done good works, but in order that we may have power to do them.”
