Quotes about Christ

Through the ages, God has used the church to keep alive and pass down the story of what Christ has done for us.
- Tony Campolo
You can't have the true peace of Christ's kingdom with lies and pretense.
- Peter Scazzero
But an authentic relationship with Christ also takes us into the depths — the shadows, the strongholds and the darkness deep within our own souls that must be purged. Surrendering to this inward and downward journey is difficult and painful.
- Peter Scazzero
I prefer the notions of seasons to stages when describing our life in Christ. We don't control the seasons; they happen to us. Winter, spring, summer, and fall come to us whether we like it or not.
- Peter Scazzero
He releases the curse in order to drive us to our knees and to seek him, to recognize our need for a Savior (Gal. 3:21—25). The problem is instead of being broken by the thorns and thistles of life and thus coming to Christ, we either flee, fight, or hide.
- Peter Scazzero
Our goal is the same: union with God in Christ, transformation into his image, and the freeing of our hearts from anything that stands in the way of Christ living in and through us.
- Peter Scazzero
It is essential that we reflect on the messages that were handed down to us, submitting them to Christ and his Word.
- Peter Scazzero
The strength he received from Christ was not the strength to change, deny, or defy his circumstances; it was the strength to be content in the midst of them, to surrender to God's loving will for him (Philippians 4:11—13).

leavers are believers who no longer attend church. These men and women made a genuine commitment to Christ but came to realize, slowly and painfully, that the spirituality available in church had not really delivered any deep, Christ-transforming life change—either in themselves or others.
- Peter Scazzero
One of our greatest obstacles in knowing God is our own lack of self-knowledge. So we end up wearing a mask—before God, ourselves, and other people. And we can't become self-aware if we cut off our humanity out of fear of our feelings. This fear leads to unwillingness to know ourselves as we truly are and stunts our growth in Christ.
- Peter Scazzero
Living and swimming in the river of God's deep love for us in Christ is at the very heart of true spirituality. Soaking in this love enables us to surrender to God's will, especially when it seems so contrary to what we can see, feel, or figure out ourselves. This experiential knowing of God's love and acceptance provides the only sure foundation for loving and accepting our true selves. Only the love of God in Christ is capable of bearing the weight of our true identity.
- Peter Scazzero
The true sons of Abraham are not identified biologically, but Christologically.
- Philip Graham Ryken
