“when we trust in God’s gift of grace through Christ and believe in His forgiveness and justification, we are accounted righteous as though sin did not exist in us.”
― Eddie Snipes, The Revelation of Grace: Founded Upon Grace Series: Book 1

“Love is the all-or-nothing of the kingdom of God. Above all we are to love (Col. 3:14; 1 Peter 4:8). Everything we do is to be done in love and, thus, communicate love (1 Cor. 16:14). We are to imitate God by living in Christlike love (Eph. 5:1–2), and if we do this, we fulfill the whole law (Matt. 22:37–40; Rom. 13:8–10). If we lack this, everything else we do is devoid of kingdom value, however impressive it might otherwise be (1 Cor. 13:1–3).”

“Jesus did not create a new religion, but set us free from all the rules and regulations of religion”

“Christ’s church is composed of people. These people are very much alive. We do well to view ourselves as what we are—a people. Instead of thinking in terms of static things such as buildings or institutions, we more accurately and beneficially think of Christ’s body as a thriving, growing mass of humanity that loves Jesus.”
