Christ"Unless we do his teachings, we do not demonstrate faith in
Him." "We will not know Him until we become like Him." "Not only did Jesus come as a universal gift, He came as an
individual offering with a personal message to each one of us. He
died on Calvary and His blood will conditionally save us. Not as
nations, communities, or groups, but as individuals." "No mortal being had the power or capability to redeem all
other mortals from their lost and fallen condition, nor could any
other voluntarily forfeit His life and thereby bring to pass a universal
resurrection for all other mortals. Only Jesus Christ was able and
willing to accomplish such a redeeming act of love. We may never
understand nor comprehend what He did, but we must not fail to understand
why he did what he did. Everything He did was prompted by His unselfish,
infinite love for us." "If you believe in an unseen Christ, you will believe in the
unseen Christ-like potential of others." "We must know Christ better than we know him; we must remember
him more often than we remember him; we must serve him more valiantly
than we serve him. . . .What manner of men and women ought we to
be? Even as he is." "If our lives and our faith are centered upon Jesus Christ
and his restored gospel, nothing can ever go permanently wrong.
On the other hand, if our lives are not centered on the Savior and
his teaching, no other success can ever be permanently right." "Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't
come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus
Christ, they come." "No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to
be good. A silly idea is current that good people do not know what
temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to
resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out
the strength of the German army by fighting against it, not by giving
in. You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against
it, not by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five
minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour
later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about
badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in. We
never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until
we try to fight it: and Christ, because he was the only man who
never yielded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the
full what temptation means." "On sleepless nights, instead of counting sheep, talk to the
shepherd." "If you are not as close to the Lord today as you were yesterday.
. . who moved?" "May the Lord be as welcome in your world as you are in His." "The Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever. But he
is always changing. . . us." |
