“No certain place can give you abundant life like a certain purpose can. Like purpose and meaning and connection can. I”
― Ann Voskamp, The Broken Way: A Daring Path into the Abundant Life

“If you try to deal with sin in your conscience, let it remain there, and continue to look at it in your heart, your sins will become too strong for you. They will seem to live forever. But when you think of your sins as being on Christ and boldly believe that he conquered them through his resurrection, then they are dead and gone. Sin can’t remain on Christ. His resurrection swallowed up sin.”
― Martin Luther, Faith Alone: A Daily Devotional

“if you want to be comforted when your conscience plagues you or when you are in dire distress, then you must do nothing but grasp Christ in faith and say, “I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, who suffered, was crucified, and died for me. In his wounds and death, I see my sin. In his resurrection, I see the victory over sin, death, and the devil. I see righteousness and eternal life as well. I want to see and hear nothing except him.” This is true faith in Christ and the right way to believe.”

“They mistakenly assume that their good works can save them. Just make sure that you are born again. Because if you are not, your good works are worthless.”
