Love Riot Quotes

“Just like selflessness and forgiveness, humility is only possible through Christ’s strength. When we’re rooted in God, we don’t need to prove ourselves to feel loved or accepted because we know we already are.”
― Sara Barratt, Love Riot: A Teenage Call to Live with Relentless Abandon for Christ

“No matter your story, the fact remains that you can’t wholeheartedly love Christ and stay the same. When you love someone, it changes everything. When you sincerely love God, you have new purpose and goals. Even things as small as whom you hang out with, what kind of music you listen to, and what you do in your free time alters. Why? Because you’ve fallen in love and want to please the one you love.”

“Reading Scripture and praying are not pleas to earn God’s favor, because we already have it through Christ. We don’t do them to beg God to be with us, because He already is. It’s not a checkmark on our “good Christian to-do list” but an act of intimacy, of drawing nearer to God, learning who He is, and how to follow and obey Him. It’s making the relationship our own, instead of settling for a secondhand faith.”
