“We just never stop talking to ourselves. We never stop preaching some kind of gospel to ourselves. It’s a gospel of aloneness, partiality, poverty, inability— of functional hopelessness— or it’s the true gospel of Jesus Christ, a gospel of hope, mercy, forgiveness, rescue, love, transformation; of never being alone, of never being without help; of One who is near, of One who cares; of a beautiful forever awash in victory. We’re always listening to what we’re preaching.”

“Here’s the reality of the great exchange:our sinful record became his, and he suffered the punishment we deserved. But that’s not all he has done. If it were, that would be a great blessing, indeed. To stand innocent—to be back where our first parents were in the garden—would certainly be wondrous. But he hasn’t left us there where Adam began. No, through the Second Adam, he has done even more for us; he has justified us. As you probably know, this concept of the great exchange is often referred to as justification. I’ve heard the word justified defined as “just as if I’d never sinned.” And while that’s true as far as it goes, it doesn’t go far enough. Not only do we have a clean slate as Adam did, we’ve got something written on that slate that is so amazing I can scarcely believe it:Jesus’ perfect record has become ours.”

“We are completely and irrevocably justified; we have been entirely forgiven, reconciled, redeemed. We will have eternal life with him, and everything we go through now is in some way tied to these truths.”

“God’s goodness means that everything God is and everything God does is worthy of approval, for he himself is the very standard of goodness. Those things that are good are those things that God deems good, that God deems fitting, that God deems appropriate. For something to be good is for it to meet the approval of God, and for something to meet the approval of God is for it to be good.”
― Tim Challies, Seasons of Sorrow: The Pain of Loss and the Comfort of God

“Since God is the Author of every detail of your story, since he writes into your story every situation, location, and relationship, then he knows exactly what you’re facing and precisely what grace you need to face it in the way he has planned. You could say it this way: his sovereign control is the guarantee that you will have everything that he has promised you. His sovereign control means he knows what you need because he has planned for you everything that you’re now facing. But more needs to be said. His sovereignty is your surety because he can guarantee the delivery of his promises only in the location where he rules. Because he rules over all things at all times (since he wrote the story that includes it all), he can guarantee that you and I will have what he has promised us in the places and at the times they are needed.”
― Paul David Tripp, New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional
