Quotes about Salvation

As a saved soul, the real business of your life is intercessory prayer. Whatever circumstances God may place you in, always pray immediately that His atonement may be recognized and as fully understood in the lives of others as it has been in yours. Pray for your friends now, and pray for those with whom you come in contact now.

Perfect love. It means love that goes on doing until there isn't any more to be done, and that goes on suffering until it can't suffer any more.

He had loved perfectly.

The cross is the place where we see love made perfect.

Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." John 3:3

We all tend to look for life horizontally when the reality is that we will only ever find life vertically.

Our deepest problem is that we seek to find our identity outside the story of redemption.

I understand why many people who call themselves Christians are not excited about grace. If you think your environment is your problem, you won't esteem grace, but once you admit that you're your biggest problem, you will celebrate the grace that rescues you from you.
