“Even the size of our faith and the height of our holiness aren’t the basis of our hope. The value of our faith is based on the object of our faith.”
Bethany Jenkins, “Saints—They’re Just Like Us”
“Because you have loved me, O Lord, you have made me lovable.”
Augustine of Hippo
“We’re women and men who are so sinful and flawed that we deserve hell, but we’ve been so loved and welcomed that every spiritual blessing, adoption, tender fellowship with our Father and each other, forgiveness, reconciliation, and eternal life is ours. Christ’s accomplishments and perfections are ours now. Everything about us is different.”
Elyse Fitzpatrick, Because He Loves Me
