Philip Rivers Quotes

Sin does not stop God's grace from flowing, but God's grace will stop sin.

The assurance of Heaven is never given to the person. And that's why at the core of the Christian faith is the grace of God.

Now for my own case, I bless the Lord that, for all that hath been said of me, my conscience doth not condemn me. I do not say I am free of sin, but I am at peace with God through a slain Mediator; and I believe that there is no salvation but only in Christ.

The moment someone chooses to trust in Jesus Christ, his sins are wiped away, and he is adopted into God's family. That individual is set apart as a child of God, with a sacred purpose.

Churches that should be talking about the work of Christ on the cross and the grace of God for sinners are stuck on recycled pop psychology, moral exhortation, or entertainment.

By and large, the gospel of grace is neither proclaimed, understood, nor lived.

The Gospel is about grace and we all know that grace is about us receiving from God blessings that we don't deserve.

The Gospel announces that Jesus came to acquit the guilty. He came to judge and be judged in our place. Christ came to satisfy the deep judgment against us once and for all so that we could be free from the judgement of God, others, and ourselves.
