"The [Christian] message is that there is hope for a ruined humanity – hope of pardon, hope of peace with God, hope of glory – because at the Father’s will Jesus became poor, and was born in a stable so that thirty years later He might hang on a cross."

    "The question in the Scriptures is never can you lose your salvation but rather, have you been saved to begin with. The Scriptures are very clear that you can have have spiritual experiences and you can even have seasons of your life that you like the idea of Jesus or even passionately like the idea of Jesus but not really know Him, love Him, and follow Him."

    "As to why He chose the ones He did, we do not know, and can only say, “Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in Thy sight.” The plain truth in Romans 8:29 is that God, before the foundation of the world, singled out certain sinners and appointed them unto salvation. This is clear from the concluding words of the verse: “Predestinate to be conformed to the image of His son."

    "It is only in proportion as the Christian manifests the fruit of a genuine conversion that he is entitled to regard himself and be regarded by others as one of the called and elect of God. It is just in proportion as we add to our faith the other Christian graces that we have solid ground on which to rest in the assurance we belong to the family of Christ. It is not those who are governed by self-will, but “as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Rom. 8:14)."

    "The Bible never tells us to take a leap of faith into the darkness and hope that there’s Someobody out there. The BIble calls us to jump out of the darkness and into the light. That is not a blind leap."
