1. The church is the only place God promises to lift us out of ourselves not in order to become more like God but so that we may finally be freed from our obsession with becoming little gods.
  2. By basing our assurance on the promises of God, which we not only hope for in the future but live in now, the Christian can finally rest in the comfort that they are both saved and not responsible for their own salvation.
  3. Biblically speaking, we won’t find much evidence for a preordained spouse.
  4. When we are unsure of who God is, it’s to Christ that He tells us to look.
