When your heart is abiding in Jesus, you want to worship him. @pauldunk And once you get alone with God, you begin to discover that being with God – that knowing him and his love for you – is the best and most beautiful thing in the world. (Jack Miller) It's possible to be drawn to the Bible, theological study and discourse, and even to teaching, preaching, serving, and church -- yet be disconnected relationally from Jesus. If we are seeking "his kingdom" but not seeking HIM, then we are missing the point entirely. @scottsauls Without the words, “for you,” the good news, the Gospel, does not exist, only more rules. Without these words Christianity becomes meaningless. Jesus died for you. It is finished for you. The words “for you” are the m...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. The Devil knows our name and labels us by our sin. However, the final word does not belong to our sin or the hunting accusations of the serpent. The final word speaks in a loud voice from the cross and says, “it is finished.” @GospelEconomist He's a "come & find rest" Savior to a "do more, try harder" world. @simplestapleton If you are not convinced that both your justification and sanctification is by faith and flows out of your relationship with Christ, it’s going to be hard to live with authority and confidence. (Jack Miller) Grace is so freeing, empowering.

We are the one passed by the Law believed to be beyond saving. It is Christ who is the Good Samaritan. @GospelEconomist  As sinful humans, we are adept at taking what God gives as gift and making it into a work. Nowhere is this made more evident than in the universally misunderstood doctrine of sanctification. @RyanCouch If you remove the weight of the law, then there is no way to run after grace because you feel you can achieve law. @jonmoffitt Implicit in the claim of Christ’s centrality to scripture is that Christ is for you.

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. The prophet Isaiah wrote about God’s plan to send Jesus to bring good news and redeem broken and hurting people. #thegospelprojectkids  Evangelism is the natural overflow of a heart richly indwelled by the Gospel. @gospeldriven  Jesus was delivered into the hands of sin, death, & the power of the Devil for us. Our deliverer died the death & experienced the hell our evil deeds have merited. On the third day he rose, breaking the jaws of our captors & delivering us into his gracious hands. @GospelEconomist Grace alone!

Our relationship with Christ is not initiated by or contingent on our faithfulne...
