For me, the end of a year is like the end of my life. And in these last hours, I face the inevitable question: Did I live it well? Will Jesus Christ, the righteous judge, say "Well done, good and faithful servant"?
We are afflicted and blessed with a chronic restlessness, an insatiable soul-thirst, for this reason: that we might keep looking until we find Christ.
Faith never says, "The righteousness that leads to life is inaccessible." But faith recognizes its own helplessness and gladly accepts this righteousness as a gift from God.
If you want to enjoy God's peace and be the aroma of his grace in the world, your knowledge of him has to grow.

Saving faith isn't merely the one-time act of receiving Jesus. It goes on trusting him.
Your faith is called into being out of nothing. That is the meaning of grace and the reason why God can guarantee his promises to you.
