"How does the gospel of grace reinterpret our stories? It teaches us that what we do and what’s been done to us aren’t the things that ultimately define us. Rather, what Jesus has done for us is the thing that is most true about us."

"The gospel of grace not only saves us and changes us…it unites us."

"Walking in step with the truth of the gospel allows us to confess, turn from, or call out hypocrisy because it is Jesus’ track record, not ours, that makes us acceptable before God."

"When we lose our grip on the Gospel, it’s because we’ve taken our eyes off Jesus and what He’s done for us, and put our focus on ourselves and what we think we need to do to be in right standing with God."
