As Christians we face constant temptations and difficulties, but in Jesus Christ we have better things than the world can offer.
The effectiveness of God's Word isn't intended to lead God's people into carelessness, but into perseverance.
God is preeminent, perpetually. He is in control, continuously. He is faithful forever.
He is the image of the invisible God...
God doesn't say, "Love, so that I will love you." But he says, "Love, because I have loved you."
The right attitude of the Christian should never be “God shows me grace, so I can keep sinning!” Instead, the right attitude that we see here is “God shows me grace, so I can keep obeying!”
