The Evidence Study Bible Quotes

“We can take strong consolation in the fact that God will have His way. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved and the wicked will be punished. He has delusions of grandeur indeed who thinks he can stop the will of God from coming to pass. Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished (Prov. 11:21). God will judge the world in righteousness. It would be infinitely easier to build a bacon-burger restaurant on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem than to stop God from saving those who call upon Him and from having His Day of Justice.”

“The Bible tells us that someone who has truly been born again will urgently desire to get rid of anything in his life that’s sinful or displeasing to God (1 Thess. 4:7, 1 John 3:9), he will obey Christ’s commands (John 14:15; 1 John 2:3), and he will pray for boldness to speak to others about Christ (Acts 4:29). The Bible says, “If we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged” (1 Cor. 11:31). So judge yourself now, before you have to face God on Judgment Day. Don’t be like the religious man in Jesus’ story. Humble yourself before God today. Truly repent. Place your faith in Jesus Christ, and be genuinely born again. Take time now to “make your call and election sure” (2 Pet. 1:10). Don’t wait another minute; this breath may be the last one God grants you.”

“36:11–16 The ungodly are like Zedekiah. They do what is evil in God’s eyes, then add to their sin with their pride, mockery, and stubborn rebellion. Read and memorize Matt. 5:10–12 so that you will have consolation when you are persecuted for the cause of the gospel.”

“be rejected, we have discovered no power in a court to force it on him.” And so George Wilson was hanged. Tragically, many sinners refuse to humble themselves and accept the pardon that God offers. Some refuse because they love their sin. Others refuse to believe that God offers everlasting life. To say that they will regret their foolish refusal the moment they stand guilty before a holy God is the understatement of eternity. The Bible warns, “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation...?” (Heb. 2:3)”

“24:4 A pardon must be accepted. In 1830, a man named George Wilson robbed the U.S. mail and assaulted a government employee who caught him in the act. He was tried and sentenced to be hanged. However, President Andrew Jackson sent him a pardon. But strangely, Wilson refused to accept the pardon, and no one knew what to do. So the case went to the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Marshall, who wrote the court’s opinion, said, “A pardon is a deed, to the validity of which delivery is essential, and delivery is not complete without acceptance. It may then be rejected by the person to whom it is tendered, and if it”

“Most Christian ministries would like to send their recruits to Bible college for five years. I would like to send our recruits to hell for five minutes. That would do more than anything else to prepare them for a lifetime of compassionate ministry.❞ WILLIAM BOOTH”

“If you were offered a handful of $1,000 bills or a glass of cool water, which would you choose? The $1,000 bills, of course—anyone in his right mind would. However, if you were crawling through a desert, dying of thirst, and you were offered a glass of water or a handful of $1,000 bills, which would you take? The water, of course—anyone in his right mind would. That’s called “circumstantial priorities.” Your priorities change according to your circumstances. If there was a way to find everlasting life, would you want to know about it? The answer is “yes,” of course—anyone in his right mind would. What the Bible contains may surprise you. The Scriptures speak of riches beyond our wildest dreams—the “riches” of everlasting life—and they are offered in the form of cool, clear water: “Let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely” (Rev. 22:17). At the moment, you may not be interested in the offer, but on Judgment Day your circumstances will radically change. Then it will be too late.”

“In 2004, the atheist world was shocked when famed British atheist Antony Flew announced that he believed in the existence of God. For decades he had heralded the cause of atheism. It was the incredible complexity of DNA that opened his eyes: In a recent interview, Flew stated, “It now seems to me that the findings of more than fifty years of DNA research have provided materials for a new and enormously powerful argument to design.” Flew also renounced naturalistic theories of evolution: “It has become inordinately difficult even to begin to think about constructing a naturalistic theory of the evolution of that first reproducing organism.”
