A few thoughts..

Alistair Begg

Scottish-born pastor & author

▪ As a result of grace, we have been saved from sin’s penalty. One day we will be saved from sin’s presence. In the meantime we are being saved from sin’s power.
▪ Moralism says to unbelievers, “Be what you are not.” Christianity says to believers, “Be what you are.”
▪ [Divine power] is displayed not in dramatic manifestations that intrigue men but in lives of quiet confidence and steady persistence that glorify God.
▪ We find Christ in all the Scriptures. In the Old Testament He is predicted, in the Gospels He is revealed, in Acts He is preached, in the epistles He is explained, and in Revelation He is expected.
▪ Hold material goods and wealth on a flat palm and not in a clenched fist.
▪ Endurance is a key indicator of spiritual fitness.

▪ The gospel is about much more than how we get saved and go to heaven. The gospel is about the work of Christ saturating every aspect of our lives.
▪ As followers of Christ, our greatest delight will always be found in our obedience to His Word.
▪ True repentance is the result of an accurate understanding of the significance and gravity of sin, coupled with an overwhelming desire for the remission of that sin through the person and work of Christ and turning from sin and dead works to faith and obedience.
▪ Guilt comes from within. Shame comes from without.
▪ If you deal with shame without guilt, your problem is the fear of man.
▪ Suffering is common for all. However, persecution (which is a form of suffering) can be avoided. All you have to do is compromise.
▪ “The Lord Told me” is no substitute for “The Bible Says.”
