Holiness (5)
  1. He doesn’t consume us, even though that is what we deserve. Instead, Jesus comes down to us and consumes all our sin by taking it on himself.
  2. The gospel is best understood in terms of those two most important words: for you.
  3. If your faith is rooted in the gospel of Zion, in the good news of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection on your behalf, you are already a member of the “heavenly Jerusalem”
  4. Growth and maturity in the Spirit doesn’t look like we think it does. That’s because it’s backward.
  5. Among the things that perturb me about modern Christianity is our residual clinging to a sort of “Christian-karma.”
