“He reconciles them with God through His death. That means that in His own death He makes their peace with God--before they themselves have decided for this peace and quite apart from that decision. In believing, they are only conforming to the decision about them that has already been made in Him.”

“The Old Tesatment is filled with physical representations of the spiritual realities of Christ. And it is interesting that God said the historical events and the things people could see with their eyes were only the shadow. Unseen things, or spiritual matters, were the substance.”

“Human science cannot discover God; for human science is but the backward undoing of the tapestry-web of God's science.”

“New covenant victory does not begin with doing but with seeing. God's presence is a gift. Therefore, God's nearness is something we perceive, not something we achieve. We overcome when we see that Jesus is in the darkest room in the house, too. The whole house belongs to Him.”

“Sometimes, in the midst of our trials, we think that God's greatest desire is for us to hold on; we believe He is testing our faith. And if our faith is big enough and we hold on to the promise without letting go, God will get us through our troubles. Little do we know that if our eyes are on "our faith," our eyes are still on ourselves. We are robbing God of His glory by trying to be worthy of the gift.
...
When we reach the end of "our faith" we can see what true faith is. It is seeing that God holds on to us. Even if we let go, God does not. Humble faith is seeing that Christ's victory has trumped our ability to fail; He is the Victor. There are no exceptions.”
