Francis Chan Quotes

I learned early about the misery and dangers of life, and about the afterlife, about the external punishment which awaited the children of sin in Hell.

The Mercy of Allah is an Ocean, Our sins are a lump of clay clenched between the beak of a pigeon. The pigeon is perched on the branch of a tree at the edge of that ocean.It only has to open it's beak

Christianity teaches that when man sinned, God opted for forgiveness rather than fairness. He opted for grace and mercy rather than justice.

I am wonderfully content with a God who does not deal with me as my sins deserve.

Jesus Lord, kind Pelican, Cleanse my filth with Thy blood, One drop of which can save The whole world from all its sin

The only way to heal is to look at the Cross, to look at God Who takes upon Himself our sins: my sin is there.

Apart from the cross, condemnation is normal. Without Jesus, we all deserve to be condemned and punished for sin. But here's the good news: 'There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus'.

When men talk of a little hell it's because they think they have only a little sin and believe in a little Savior.

Heaven is populated entirely by forgiven sinners

Because of Jesus the sin we cannot forget God does not remember.

But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?

Grace is sufficient even though we huff and puff with all our might to try and find something or someone that it cannot cover. Grace is enough.

Hell isn't merely paved with good intentions; it's walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too.

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.

But the issue is not only life and death but our existence before God and our being judged by him. All of us were sinners before him and worthy of condemnation.

I believe in something. But I don't believe that anything can hold a grudge for long enough to condemn its creation to eternal punishment. Nobody can hold a grudge that long, even God.

When I go to hell, I mean to carry a bribe: for look you, good gifts evermore make way for the worst persons.

Let your tears fall because of sin; but, at the same time, let the eye of faith steadily behold the Son of man lifted up, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, that those who are bitten by the old serpent may look unto Jesus and live. Our sinnership is that emptiness into which the Lord pours his mercy.

The bad news that we are all guilty is met with the best news that God loves and forgives guilty people.

Most people have settled for a wimpy grace. It's something that doesn't change their lives. There is a difference between grace and mercy. Mercy is the decision of God not to punish us. But grace is the decision of God to save and bless us.

We deserve punishment and get forgiveness; we deserve God’s wrath and get God’s love.

I believe that no hell will be lacking which would help the just mercy of God to redeem his children.

The only thing He forgets is our sins.

Oh, my brothers and sisters in Christ, if sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies; and if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay, and not madly to destroy themselves. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.
