“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.”
― C.S. Lewis

“People do not drift toward Holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.”
― D.A. Carson

“We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.”
― Martin Luther

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
― A.W. Tozer
