IV. Quotes:

• Tim Keller - ‘All religions and philosophies say, "This is the way." Only Jesus says, "I AM the Way."​

 

• Michael Horton  - ‘Paul’s legalist had misunderstood the true nature of the law: to lead us to Christ, not to lead us to self-salvation. The demand for faith does not turn faith into a work. On the contrary, it is a command to cease our labours and enter God’s rest. We are commanded to repent not only of our immoral life that we once approved but of self-trust, which is the greatest sin of all – the chief form of idolatry’
• John Piper - ‘love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others’
