Salvation (840)
  1. His resurrection reveals that Jonah, and all of us, even the evilest people, are salvageable, even from suicide, in Jesus' death and resurrection.
  2. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus establishes a whole new standard for what it means to live as one of His people.
  3. This is our frontier religion: God is waiting to shower blessings upon us if only we will unlock those blessings with the right kind of works, and a sufficient quantity of the same.
  4. The easiest way for us to contend with our sin is to become an agent of sin. We slice and cut others to pieces for all the world to see.
  5. The followers of Jesus have a function to perform. When they do not perform it—that is, when they are not being themselves—the world suffers.
  6. It’s a delivery of historical facts that tells us who Jesus is and what he has done for us through his dying on the cross and his rising from the grave.
  7. We live in the strength of our baptism again and again and again, returning to it every day according to God's promise. 
  8. The gospel is the good news that in Christ we have been given the very righteousness of Christ himself. This means that everything God commands of us is given to us in Christ as a gift.
  9. We don't have to worry about making progress towards God because he's already come to us, named us as his own, and promises to never leave or forsake us.
  10. Our first mistake in thinking about the blessed life is we expect to experience it fully in this life.
  11. The following is an excerpt from "Finding Christ in the Straw" written by Robert M. Hiller (1517 Publishing, 2020).
  12. This is the wonder which is present in the calling of the disciples. Not how they drop their nets to follow Jesus, but that Jesus does not need to go far to find disciples. He chooses the people He lives among.
