  • FAITH

    "Faith is transferring your trust from your own efforts to the efforts of Christ. You were relying on other things to make you acceptable, but now you consciously begin relying on what Jesus did for your acceptance with God. All you need is nothing. If you think, 'God owes me something for all my efforts,' you are still on the outside."

  • I am so glad that I don't have to make myself worthy, but that He clothes me in His righteousness...I love trusting Christ!  ~Colleen~

  • Timothy Keller has become a "friend" in that one of my former students who knows him, introduced my husband and I to his works -- now my husband uses Keller's books in his senior Bible classes -- thanks for sharing this wise reminder. Blessings, Laurie
