Words that are carrying my heart right now...
"As we behold the glory of Christ in the gospel and savor his purity, we start to see sin as repugnant, and salvation as magnificent. We see people no longer, as Paul says, 'according to the flesh' (2 Cor. 5:16), but with a love that 'bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things' (1 Cor. 13:7). We despair of no one, because in spite of human depravity, 'with God all things are possible' (Matt. 19:26). And we see culture no longer merely with the eyes of seduction or despair, but with the eyes of hope. The sovereign, living Christ will someday claim this world for himself. Our spirit is wakened and enlivened by beholding the glory of Christ and his passion to make all things serve the glory of his Father."
JP, "God is the Gospel"
