“Lovelace wrote in Dynamics of Spiritual Life. He explained that when Christians don’t know God accepts them on Jesus’ behalf, they become insecure. “Their insecurity shows itself in pride, a fierce defensive assertion of their own righteousness and defensive criticism of others. They come naturally to hate other cultural styles and other races in order to bolster their own security and discharge their suppressed anger.”8 This”

“In no one could there be the contrast that our Lord experienced between total trust and total knowledge of all the Lord’s goodness and mercy and the total horror of abandonment by God,” Clowney said. “For only Jesus Christ really trusted the Lord, you know, and only Jesus Christ really trusted in all the fullness of broken, unblemished, undeviating trust. And it’s the one who only trusted who is completely abandoned.”

“As long as you fix your attention on your sin, you will fail to see how you can be safe. But as long as you look to this high priest, you will fail to see how you can be in danger. Looking inside ourselves, we can anticipate only harshness from heaven. Looking out to Christ, we can anticipate only gentleness.”

“A good and faithful sermon will help Christians see the excellency of Jesus and not merely his usefulness. We need more than understanding, more than a notion of God; we need a sense of pleasure and delight in him.”
