Finding the Love of Jesus from Genesis to Revelation Quotes

“Bible reading is meant to clothe you in faith so that when either blessing or adversity (or the boringly mundane) confront you, you’ll be enabled to face them with courage and humility, remembering the story of how you’ve been loved throughout the ages. We don’t read the Bible to earn God’s blessing. We read it because his blessing is already ours.”
― Elyse M. Fitzpatrick, Finding the Love of Jesus from Genesis to Revelation

“The Bible was not written to give us specific answers to daily questions. It does provide general guidelines about life, but its primary message is about salvation by faith, Jesus, and the gospel.”
― Elyse M. Fitzpatrick, Finding the Love of Jesus from Genesis to Revelation

“Emmaus-Damascus road experience?”
― Elyse M. Fitzpatrick, Finding the Love of Jesus from Genesis to Revelation

“Just as in the Emmaus road experience, the Lord’s message to Paul wasn’t delivered on the wings of a dove or a pretty Instagram post. No, it was pretty much a slap-down from heaven. Jesus knocked Paul off his horse onto his knees and temporarily blinded him (Acts 9: 1–8). Then Paul had to be led by hand into Damascus, where he fasted and heard the message of the gospel as he “received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ” (Galatians 1: 12). It was there that he began to learn to interpret the Scriptures.”
