In Exodus 4:21, God says to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles that I have put in your power. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go” (ESV). If you’re anything like me, I know this raises a couple of questions.

The biggest one is some version of, “How is that fair?” If God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, why would he punish Phara

Quotes by J.D. Greear  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When something becomes so important to you that it drives your behavior and commands your emotions, you are worshipping it.”
J.D. Greear, Gospel: Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary

“My identity and my security are not in my spiritual progress. My identity and my security are in God’s acceptance of me given as a gift in Christ.”
J.D. Greear, Gospel: Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary

“Without love even the most radical devotion to God is of no value to Him. Let me make sure that sinks in… You can gain all the spiritual gifts in the world. You can take the most radical steps of obedience. You can share every meal with the homeless in your city. You can memorize the book of Leviticus. You can pray each morning for four hours like Martin Luther. But if what you do does not flow out of a heart of love - a heart that does those things because it genuinely desires to do them - it is ultimately worthless to God.”
J.D. Greear, Gospel: Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary
