More from J.D. Greear

Over the last week, I have been sharing quotes from Gospel by J.D. Greear.  Here are some more quotes about transformation.
The power for transformation comes from the gospel. We are changed not by being told what we need to do for God, but by hearing the news about what God has done for us.
Gospel change is the Spirit of God using the story of God to make the beauty of God come alive in our hearts.
Awe combined with intimacy is the essence of Christian worship. . .Really seeing those three things, God's awesome size, His untouchable holiness, and His tender mercy, is how we will change too.
The way we will stop sinning is not by being told over and over, "Stop sinning!" but by seeing the majesty and glory of God in our hearts.
Before Christianity tells you to do anything, it calls you to sit in wonder and amazement at what God has done for you.
