Apart from union with Christ, we would have no access to God’s promises and no reason to rejoice in affliction. But in Christ, every promise of God is Yes.

How can Christians be freed from selfishness so that, at any cost to ourselves, we love others in a way that makes Christ look great? Answer: joy.

The apostle Paul was no stranger to ministry’s many strains. Yet for all his afflictions, he neither lost heart nor tampered with the truth. How?

No one can be neutral about Jesus Christ. Either he will have our heart and soul, our life and obedience — or hell will.

When God makes a promise, he keeps it. And he keeps it through his purposeful, all-wise, absolute sovereignty — through his providence.

God’s will is not simply that we obey God’s will, but that we obey it in a certain way: with all of our might for all of our life.

You don’t have to be Christian to love the story of the Good Samaritan. But applauding Luke’s parable apart from his Gospel contradicts his purpose.

When the Bible speaks of “truth,” it refers ultimately to God himself. Therefore, truth demands more than just our minds — truth will have our whole hearts, now and forever.

God never tests his saints with ill intent. As the Father of lights, his every test aims at the full and lasting happiness of his children.

Why do God’s people wake up as believers day after day until they die? Because the same word that made us goes on keeping us to the end.
