Kevin DeYoung Quotes

God always wants what's best for us, just as you want what's best for someone you really love. You put them before you, and God does that too. God puts us before His Son, who He sacrificed for our salvation. But the Son did it voluntarily because He has the love of the Father before us.

If God was willing to wrap himself in rags and drink from a mother's breast, then all questions about his love for us are off the table.

I believe and have always believed in the virgin birth, and the second coming.

God loves you just as much as He loves Jesus!

Christianity isn't looking for a rainbow. If it were... we'd pass out opium at services. We're trying to serve God, not be God.

The highest act of love is the giving of the best gift, and, if necessary, at the greatest cost, to the least deserving. That's what God did. At the loss of His Son's life to the totally undeserving, God gave the best gift - the display of the glory of Christ who is the image of God.

The Christian "doctrines" are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more adequate, namely the actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection

Do you feel more loved when God makes much of you or do you feel more loved when God at the cost of His Son allows you to make much of Him?

The Christian idea of 'putting on Christ' is the whole of Christianity.

God loves me and sent his son to die for me so I have to live to please him because he saved me when everyone abandoned me.

That is why the center of our faith isn't just a book, but a history of Salvation, and above all, it's about a person: Jesus Christ, the Word of God made flesh.

God has loved you since before you were born-so much so that 2,000 years ago, He sent His Son Jesus to die in your place.

The essential fact of Christianity is that God thought all men worth the sacrifice of his son.

Christianity is not devotion to work, or to a cause, or a doctrine, but devotion to a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The real truth, I thought, in terms of what faith is and what Christianity is.

I have met many Roman Catholic theologians who will emphasize as much as any good Protestant preacher that everything comes from the love and grace of God.

His Son Jesus, the Word of God, is our Instructor.... He is God and Creator.

The willingness of God to sacrifice his Son to reconcile us to himself is a demonstration of his love for us.

The church's final word is not 'church' but the glory of the Father and the Son in the Spirit of liberty

The whole foundation of Christianity is based on the idea that intellectualism is the work of the Devil. Remember the apple on the tree? Okay, it was the Tree of Knowledge. You eat this apple, you're going to be as smart as God. We can't have that.

Anyone who doesn't focus on Jesus Christ and His finished work has neither the wisdom of God nor the power of God.

For me, Christianity is not a genre. It's faith. The Gospel is not a genre either. It's faith. I definitely understand the semantics of naming things to give them some kind of distinction but I think my faith is pretty distinct. If you want to call it hip hop, essentially it is. That's the art form.

Had there been no Plato, the Christians would have had a harder time selling the idea that all God really wanted from us was fraternal love.

If I can't take Jesus Christ with me, I don't want to go.

Jesus is the Son of God, we have a chance for God's blessings, God's salvation through our faith in Jesus Christ and all of us are sinners who fall short of the glory of God, and the wages of sin is death but through our faith that Jesus Christ, we can be saved.
