Quotes about Christ

Even if we have known Christ in a purely human way, yet now we no longer know Him like that. 2 Corinthians 5:16

You can't live an obedient life and miss an adventure. Following the commands of Christ is not just about behavior. Behavior modification is not an end in itself in the New Testament. Transformation is about knowing the truth and the truth setting you free.

The most monumental leap we take toward freedom is the leap to our knees—the lordship of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may reside in me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

We did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:16

The most effective time to resolve to obey Christ is in advance of difficulty. Planning to stay faithful can greatly enhance victory.

God wanted to make known to those among the Gentiles the glorious wealth of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27

You were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in His steps. 1 Peter 2:21

All the nouns—the people, places, and things—I've believed were inseparable from who I was have been strategically targeted by God. Over the years, He has sought to supplant them with Christ alone. They weren't cast aside as worthless any more than the land was relegated to meaninglessness for the people of God. They had their role, but they simply weren't Jesus.

God is indeed the righteous Judge. When Christ returns, those who rejected Him will literally cry to the mountains, "'Fall on us!' and to the hills, 'Cover us!'" (Luke 23:30). Judgment is coming, but may the thought of it cause us to weep, plead, and pray. Never boast or feel satisfaction. Only one thing stands between us and the lost: a blood-stained cross.

Even though Christ knew Judas would betray Him, I believe He was still devastated by it. Heart-shattering betrayal is one of the hardest experiences we ever encounter. To know how best to bind up the heart it breaks, Christ chose to experience it.

We are ambassadors for Christ; certain that God is appealing through us, we plead on Christ's behalf: "Be reconciled to God." 2 Corinthians 5:20
