“Eternal life is not endless time; it is God’s own life shared with us now. It is not a quantity of time but a quality of experience. In fact, eternal life cannot be affected by time. Like the eternal God who gives eternal life, the gift is beyond time and outside time. When you have eternal life, you have God’s own life here and now— and forever.”
–Warren W. Weirsbe

“If you like the church but think lightly of her—repent. Think of her the way Jesus does. It’s his body, of which you are a part . If you love the church, ask Jesus to help you love her more and see her the way he does, as his beautiful bride. Jesus bought her with his life. Don’t withhold yours from her.”

“The forgiveness that comes as a result of faith in Jesus is a means to the greater prize that we can know God and can possess perfect peace with God, which was present in the garden and was destroyed by sin.

“Those who refuse to bow to what God has revealed in His Word always cavil with the notion that a sovereign power governs all things. Only those who have learned the grace of submission can appreciate the beauty of divine sovereignty. We recognize its truth and respond in gratitude once we have experienced the grace of the gospel. God sets His love upon us and predestines us.”
–Derek W. H. Thomas

–Warren W. Wiersbe
“God does not need people or anything else in order to be glorious. He is glorious in himself and eternally self-sufficient. Yet in his grace, he deigned to share his glory with sinful man! And Jesus Christ was willing to lay aside his glory to die so that sinners, all of whom have fallen short of God’s glory (Rom. 3: 23), might receive that glory.”
–Warren W. Wiersbe
“The gospel is now the banner over your life, and it reads Not Condemned!”
