1. Trusting in Christ’s promise of new life and deliverance pours kindness and gentleness into the way we think and the way we experience life.
  2. Jesus does not say to us, “Try really hard, and you will be better.”
  3. The distinction between Christ-for-you and Christ-in-you can present a misleading dichotomy.
  4. The law demands love, and love has no limits, no end, it is never done.
  5. The goal of Christian living isn't to gather in and store up two, three, four barn-fulls of good works for ourselves.
  6. You can talk to me about how Jesus is really forgiving and how you want me around, but what happens when things don’t change in a month?
  7. When it comes to faith, God runs all the verbs. God's Spirit calls us by the Gospel. He enlightens us with His gifts.
