• The gospel has done its work in us when we crave God more than we crave everything else in life - more than money, romance, family, health, fame - and when seeing His kingdom advance in the lives of others gives us more joy than anything we could own. When we see Jesus as greater than anything the world can offer, we'll gladly let everything else go to possess Him.

• Sin amor, incluso la devoción más radical a Dios no tiene ningún valor para Él. Permítanme asegurarme de que se hunde en ... Usted puede ganar todos los dones espirituales en el mundo. Puedes dar los pasos más radicales de obediencia. Puedes compartir cada comida con las personas sin hogar de tu ciudad. Puedes memorizar el libro del Levítico. Puedes rezar cada mañana durante cuatro horas como Martin Luther. Pero si lo que haces no fluye de un corazón de amor -un corazón que hace esas cosas porque genuinamente desea hacerlas- en última instancia no tiene valor para Dios.

  In Christ, there is nothing I can do that would make You love me more, and nothing I have done that makes You love me less.

• The amount which you understand the gospel is measured by your ability to be joyful in all circumstances. If you grasp what a treasure the presence and acceptance of God are, then even when life goes really wrong you will have a joy that sustains you, because you’ll recognize the value of what you have in Him. When life punches you in the face, you’ll say, ‘But I still have the love and acceptance of God, a treasure I don’t deserve.’ And the joy you find in that treasure can make you rejoice even when you have a bloody nose. You have a joy that death and depravation cannot touch.

• True religion is when you serve God to get nothing else but more of God. Many people use religion as a way of getting something else from God they want-blessings, rewards, even escape from judgement. This is wearisome to us, and to God. But when God is His own reward, Christianity becomes thrilling. Sacrifice becomes joy.
