No one has ever lived who was more worthy of honor than Jesus; and no one has been dishonored more. But he triumphed by entrusting himself to God.

Your very soul is in danger if you hold on to an attitude of unforgiving bitterness. Leave it to the wrath of God.

Imagine being able to enjoy what is most enjoyable with unbounded energy and passion forever. That is not our experience now, but it will be one day.

It is good news that God is gloriously happy. No one would want to spend eternity with a gloomy, unhappy God.

As the source of every good pleasure, God himself pleases fully and finally. It is therefore astonishing how little effort is put into knowing God.

Even if we know that God is good to us, we may believe that his goodness is constrained. But Jesus is at pains to help us not feel that way.

The unwillingness of others to repent will not hold the saints hostage. Hell cannot blackmail heaven into misery.

Faith in God’s promises must be so real that the love it produces proves the reality of the faith.

What can sustain the will to die for others, when you are innocent? Jesus banked on love and future joy.

The experience of future grace often depends on whether we will take refuge in God, or whether we will run for cover to other shelters.
