The greatest negative in the universe is the Cross, for with it God wiped out everything that was not of Himself: the greatest positive in the universe is the resurrection, for through it God brought into being all.

John MacArthur
God unleashed the full extent of His fury on Jesus Christ. As Isaiah put it in Isaiah 13:9, “Wrath with fierce anger.” Hell came there. What is hell? Hell is where God punishes people forever. Hell is where God pours out His fury on people forever. God is the power behind the punishment in hell. When you say that hell is being separated from God, only in the sense of His comforting presence, not in the sense of His punishing presence. He is the one who destroys both soul and body in hell. He is the King of hell, Satan is not. And God, who is the punisher of all the souls in eternal hell, shows up in the darkness of Calvary to punish His Son, and He gives His Son eternal hell on behalf of all who would ever believe.

Au moment où l’Esprit de Dieu répand dans nos cœur l’amour de Dieu, nous commençons une nouvelle vie d’aventure, mais une aventure qui comporte des dangers et des risques. L’aventure consiste à aimer les gens avec une nouvelle force, à être capable de voir l’intérêt de Jésus dans la vie des autres et à défendre cet intérêt même en présence de l’indifférence ecclésiale. Nous expérimentons la liberté et la joie de l’abnégation en défendant les intérêts de Jésus dans la vie des autres. Nous nous délectons de nous mettre au service des autres pour l’amour du Christ
Le danger pourrait peut-être résider dans le fait que nous ne sommes pas vraiment consacrés à Jésus-Christ, mais plus aux choses qui semblent nous libérer et nous épanouir. Dans ce cas nous pourrons être enclins à utiliser à tort nos vies dans des domaines qui ne sont pas sous le contrôle de la Parole et de l’Esprit. Nous avons besoin d’apprendre à dire fréquemment non à notre volonté, à nos ambitions et à nos désirs et cela de façon la plus radicale.
En d’autres termes, l’attachement à Jésus-Christ n’a rien à voir avec l’abandon irréfléchi de notre vie. L’attachement à Jésus-Christ résulte de l’engagement de l’infanterie, qui progresse dans la boue et sous la pluie, faisant des tranchées et les défendant lorsqu’elle est attaquée et soucieuse par-dessus tout de s’en tenir aux fondements de sa volonté révélée."

Christian mission must... treat all human beings with dignity, equality and respect. When we look at any other person, we do not see the label but the image of God. We see someone created by God, addressed by God, accountable to God, loved by God, valued, and evaluated by God.

How enormous and wonderful and glorious would be the result is all Christians should begin to be active personal workers to the extent of their ability.

God wants to speak to you about your life and help bring context to what he is doing in you. if you can interpret God for yourself and hear God about your circumstances, then you can easily give out of the outflow of that to others. So many people get this backward and think that they can't hear God for themselves.

Revelation comes from God for the purpose of helping man to live in harmony with God’s will, whereas religion is man’s attempt to order his path and to explain the world around him. The godly in every age live in accordance with revelation.

John Owen, Meditation on the Glory of Christ, 1684, ch. 7.
If we do not have some knowledge by faith of the glory of Christ here and now, it means that we have no real desire for His presence in heaven.

Come, and however feeble you feel, just wait in His presence. As a feeble, sickly invalid is brought out into the sunshine to let its warmth go through him, come with all that is dark and cold in you into the sunshine of God’s holy, omnipotent love, and sit and wait there, with the one thought: Here I am, in the sunshine of His love. As the sun does its work in the weak one who seeks its rays, God will do His work in you. Oh, do trust Him fully. “Wait on the Lord! Be strong, and let your heart take courage! Yea, wait thou on the Lord!”

If we self-shame and self-judge, we create a filter around us where every interaction sounds like we are being shamed and judged. Sometimes instead of thinking someone else is judging us, we need to check if we’ve been doing it to ourselves.

Faithful service does not exalt me or change my role as God’s servant. Faithful service only confirms that I am His servant.

Un pasteur a commenté ainsi ce verset : " Sur cette terre, dans l’économie actuelle, rien n’est durable car tout est directement ou indirectement corruptible.
Mais dans l’économie future, en Christ qui est le nouvel Adam, nous revêtiront cette incorruptibilité que l’ancien Adam, en tant que tête fédérale de l’humanité, nous a fait perdre en Éden. La racine adamique est entièrement corrompue, seulement en tant que chrétien régénérés, nous ne poussons plus sur l’ancien racine adamique corrompue, mais nous avons été greffés sur la nouvelle racine, c’est à dire Christ, le cep incorruptible. Il nous reste encore de la sève de notre ancienne racine, mais dans l’économie future, il ne restera plus aucune trace de cette corruption. La nouvelle vie aura totalement effacée toutes traces de l’ancienne."

The Bible uses many terms to describe the nature of sin: ignorance (Eph. 4:18), error (Mk. 12:24-27), impurity, idolatry (Gal. 5:19-20), trespass (Rom. 5:15), etc. Sin’s essence is placing something else in God’s place. It is anything that falls short of His glory and perfection. Sin is disobedience.

F.F. Bruce, The New Testament Documents : Are They Reliable ? 1949, p. 15.
The evidence for our New Testament writings is ever so much greater than the evidence for many writings of classical authors, the authenticity of which no-one dreams of questioning. And if the New Testament were a collection of secular writings, their authenticity would generally be regarded as beyond all doubt. It is a curious fact that historians have often been much readier to trust the New Testament than have many theologians.

John MacArthur, The Gospel According to Jesus, 1988, p. 32.
Repentance as Jesus characterized it…involves a recognition of one’s utter sinfulness and a turning from self and sin to God (cf. 1 Thessalonians 1:9). Far from being a human work, it is the inevitable result of God’s work in a human heart. And it always represents the end of any human attempt to earn God’s favor. It is much more than a mere change of mind – it involves a complete change of heart, attitude, interest, and direction. It is a conversion in every sense of the word.
