Gospel of Grace

God offers nothing to people who are content with their own condition, except judgment. If you don't think you are headed for hell, don't think you need forgiveness, you put no value on the gospel of grace.

John MacArthur

Because of His Majesty and Omnipotence

Do little things as though they were great,
because of the majesty of Jesus Christ who does them in us,
and who lives our life:
and do the greatest things as though they were little and easy,
because of His omnipotence.

- Blaise Pascal -

C S Lewis on Christ

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic -- on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg -- or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. – Mere Christianity, pages 40-41.
