Quotes about Redemption

the New Testament view is that He took our sin on Himself not because of sympathy, but because of His identification with us.

as long as our eyes are focused on our own personal holiness, we will never even get close to the full reality of redemption.

The only preaching which is up to date for every time is the preaching of this eternity, which is opened to us in the Bible alone — the eternal of holy love, grace and redemption, the eternal and immutable morality of saving grace for our indelible sin.

Perfect love. It means love that goes on doing until there isn't any more to be done, and that goes on suffering until it can't suffer any more. That's why, when Jesus hung on the cross, He said, 'It is finished.' There wasn't one sin left that couldn't be forgiven, not one sinner who couldn't be saved, because He had died. He had loved perfectly.

The cross is the place where we see love made perfect.

It is a sweet thing that we serve a dissatisfied God who has destinations in mind for us that we would never choose for ourselves. It really is a good thing that he will not be satisfied until he has gotten us exactly where he created us and re-created us to be. Most of us would have been satisfied to stay at home, and many of us would have quit the journey long before it was completed. But our heavenly Father won't give up until each one of his children has completed the journey.

The Bible says that our core problem, the fundamental reason we do what we do, is sin.
