Quotes from Paul David Tripp

Unlike human love, which is often fickle and temporary, God's love never fails, no matter what.

What you and I bring to our relationship with God is desperate spiritual and moral need.

The cross welcomes us to look inside and around us and be dissatisfied. It welcomes us not to the dissatisfaction that leaves us hopeless, but a dissatisfaction that leads us to the foot of the cross where mercy and grace are found.

Lord, please crush my heart with the guilt of my sin so that you may fill it once again with the glory of your redeeming grace.

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his own soul?" (Mark 8:36).

Denying sin makes a liar out of God and denies the message of his Word. Here's the bottom line—either God, in his Word, is true when he says that you have a problem you can't solve or you're right that you're not so bad after all. It can't be both ways.

you love the gifts and not the Giver, your heart will never be satisfied, but if you love the Giver, your heart will be content and you will be able to enjoy his gifts while keeping them in their proper place.

Prayer is, in itself, a recognition that something exists in the world that is greater and more glorious than you. Prayer is meant to remind you that your little world, filled with your little plans, is not ultimate. Prayer teaches you that there is a greater glory than any glory that you could ever want for yourself. Prayer is meant to help you remember that the deepest, most important motivation for every person who has ever taken a breath is the awe of God.

Hope for the believer is not a dream of what could be, but a confident expectation of a guaranteed result that shapes his life.

You and I never could have started at the fall of Adam and Eve and used reason to predict the coming of Jesus and his death on the cross. Old Testament believers knew that God was going to deal with sin and give new life to his people because God told them that this was what he was going to do. But they did not know that the death of the Son of God would be the means by which this would happen.

What will you hook your heart to today in the hope that it will give you life?
