Michele Bachmann Quotes

Jesus never called a human being a sinner.

The gospel is for the defeated, not the dominant.

You need to get down among the people who are the dirtiest and dustiest, and the depravity, and you need to see Christ's light shining there.

The Gospel offers forgiveness for the past, new life for the present, and hope for the future.

It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.

Many a sin has sullied me in body and in soul because I did not restrain my thoughts nor guard my lips: nevertheless it is to Thee, O God of majesty and love, that I turn in my extremity, for Thou art the fount of mercy; to Thee, as quickly as I may, I speed: for Thou alone canst heal me; I take refuge under Thy protection.

Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith, about being held, about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home.

Our assurance is anchored in the love and grace of God expressed in the glorious exchange: our sin for His righteousness.

Jesus' own witness of sacrificial love and forgiveness, and his work to heal the sick and care for those in need, represent God's ways and vision for us.

The message of Jesus is summed up partly in the Sermon on the Mount, and partly when he begins his ministry and quotes the passage from Isaiah: 'I have come to set free the prisoners and restore sight to the blind.'

Redemption is not perfection. The redeemed must realize their imperfections.

Religious people today are courts and juries. When it comes down to it, Jesus died on the cross so that we could learn to love others like we love ourselves, not judge them or persecute them.

Only the love that flows from the heart of Christ can heal. Only He in whom that love flows, even as the sap in the tree or the blood in the body, can restore the wounded soul.

That's the big difference between Christianity and other religions. The difference between Works and Grace or Do and Done.

The prevailing mentality was that the Church must not be a Church of laws but, rather, a Church of love; she must not punish. Thus, the awareness that punishment can be an act of love ceased to exist. This led to an odd darkening of the mind, even in very good people.

We all need grace. We all need Christ.

A Christian is committed to the belief that Love and Mercy are the most powerful forces on earth.

In the New Testament, religion is grace and ethics is gratitude.

No one was ever saved because his sins were small; no one was ever rejected on account of the greatness of his sins. Where sin abounded, grace shall much more abound.

Nothing enables us to forgive like knowing in our hearts that we have been forgiven.

A Christian's example is always Jesus.
