The Holy Spirit makes God’s power real to us and alive in us, turning doctrines into relationship.
Suddenly, sin becomes less about obeying the law and more about grieving a Person. Ultimately, the largeness of the Presence of the Father is what allows us to overcome our sinful impulses.
What’s flesh is flesh.
You can’t save your corrupted flesh through the efforts of your own corrupted flesh.
And sin kills.
That’s why we need Something bigger than ourselves to save us.
You can only hide from God, by hiding in God.
Those who are forgiven much, love much.
And when we think too lightly of sin, we are thinking too lightly of our Savior.
God’s forgiveness begins where blame-shifting ends.
Cover your sin and God will expose you. Expose your sin and God will cover it for you.
