Justification

I trust that because of the gospel, God will continue to mend what I, in my sin, continue to break.

There is someone outside of I, someone outside of you, that our faith and hope is in.

Jesus does not put us on trial and make us pay for our own sin, but he, himself, is put on trial in our place.

We worry about the fact our days are as grass – so we try to scratch out a place for ourselves, to make a permanent, lasting place, to climb to higher places and succeed, more often than not, only to hurt each other in the process.

Both Paul and Martin Luther were Olympic champions when it came to ladder climbing.
