Ces deux faits sont importants
Paul accorde donc - comme les quatre Evangiles - une importance fondamentale au thème des apparitions, qui sont la condition fondamentale pour la foi dans le Ressuscité qui a laissé la tombe vide. Ces deux faits sont importants : la tombe est vide et Jésus est apparu réellement. Ainsi se constitue cette chaîne de la tradition qui, à travers le témoignage des Apôtres et des premiers disciples, parviendra aux générations successives, jusqu'à nous.

Une autre garantie de notre héritage
Une autre garantie de notre héritage est notre foi persévérante. Pierre a dit que nous sommes protégés par la puissance de Dieu par la foi (1 Pierre 1:5). La foi est un don de Dieu pour nous ; nous ne la générons pas par nous-mêmes (Éphésiens 2:8-9 ; Phil. 1:29). La foi est suscitée par la grâce, soutenue par la grâce et dynamisée par la grâce. La grâce atteint l'âme du croyant, générant et maintenant la foi. Par la seule grâce de Dieu, nous faisons confiance à Christ, et par la grâce, nous continuons à croire.
John MacArthur, Our Sufficiency in Christ, 1991, p. 51.
Another guarantee of our inheritance is our persevering faith. Peter said we are protected by God’s power through faith (1 Peter 1:5). Faith is God’s gift to us; we don’t generate it on our own (Ephesians 2:8-9; Phil. 1:29). Faith is aroused by grace, upheld by grace, and energized by grace. Grace reaches into the soul of the believer, generating and maintaining faith. By God’s grace alone we trust Christ, and by grace we continue to believe.
John MacArthur, Our Sufficiency in Christ, 1991, p. 51.

La souffrance du Christ sur la croix
La souffrance du Christ sur la croix est le point central de la foi chrétienne. C'est là que sa divinité, son humanité, son œuvre et sa souffrance apparaissent le plus clairement.
JOHN MACARTHUR, THÉOLOGIEN ET PASTEUR AMÉRICAIN
VÉRITÉ POUR AUJOURD'HUI, 2001
Christ’s suffering on the cross is the focal point of the Christian faith. That’s where His deity, humanity,work, and suffering are most clearly seen.

Permission spéciale ?
John MacArthur, Spiritual Warfare : Who's After Whom ? de Our Sufficiency in Christ, 1991, p. 230.
Satan and his demons never, never act against God’s people without the permission of God. And when God gives them permission, He always uses their work to accomplish some divine purpose. Often, to exalt the power of God and prove the devotion of His followers, God permits Satan to work the hardest on the noblest servants of God.

Trop occupés pour ne pas prier ?
Auteur inconnu, The Kneeling Christian, circa 1930, ch. 7.
We say we are too busy to pray. But the busier our Lord was, the more He prayed. Sometimes He had no leisure so much as to eat (Mark 3:20); and sometimes He had no leisure for needed rest and sleep (Mark 6:31). Yet He always took time to pray. If frequent prayer, and, at times, long hours of prayer, were necessary for our Savior, are they less necessary for us?

Dans la prière
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 156.
In prayer we admit our poverty and God’s prosperity, our bankruptcy and His bounty, our misery and His mercy. Therefore, prayer highly exalts and glorifies God precisely by pursuing everything we long for in Him and not in ourselves.
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 156.

Un esprit ingrat et plaintif
Un esprit ingrat et plaintif est un péché permanent contre Dieu, et une cause de malheur presque continuel ; et pourtant, comme un tel esprit est commun. Combien nous sommes enclins à oublier les bienfaits de la vie et à nous souvenir de ses maux et à les ruminer, à oublier ses joies et à ne penser qu'à ses peines, à oublier la reconnaissance et à ne penser qu'à se plaindre.
John Broadus, Christian Joy.
An unthankful and complaining spirit is an abiding sin against God, and a cause of almost continual unhappiness; and yet how common such a spirit is. How prone we seem to be to forget the good that life knows, and remember and brood over its evil – to forget its joys, and think only of its sorrows – to forget thankfulness, and remember only to complain.
John Broadus, Christian Joy.

Lier Satan
David Reid
Let’s use the idea of "binding Satan," which is taught in some churches as a norm for Christian living. In Revelation 20:1-10 we read that Satan will be bound for a thousand years, later released for a short time, and finally thrown into the lake of fire (hell) for eternal punishment. In other words, it seems quite clear that until Satan is bound for the thousand years, he is not bound. He will not be bound until Scripture says he will be bound. The 1000 years of Revelation 20, when the Lord returns to this earth to set up His millennial kingdom, is a future event. Therefore the "binding of Satan" today is really unscriptural terminology and unscriptural practice, even though the intent may be for the glory of God. Christians who spiritualize the 1000 years of Revelation 20 to the present "Christian age" (the "amillennial" view of Revelation) are inconsistent if they call for the "binding" of Satan. If Revelation 20 is in the present time, then Satan is already bound by God, and he doesn’t need to be bound again and again by Christians! Any way you look at it, "binding Satan" shouldn’t be part of normal Christian conduct today.

Avec l'intercession du Christ
Thomas Watson
“Prayer as it comes from the saint is weak and languid; but when the arrow of a saint’s prayer is put into the bow of Christ’s intercession it pierces the throne of grace.”

La véritable prière qui prévaut.
Andrew Murray (1821-1917), pasteur sud-africain
The majority of Christian men and women who pray to a Living God know very little about real prevailing prayer. Yet prayer is the key that unlocks the door of God’s treasure-house. It is not too much to say that all real growth in the spiritual life – all victory over temptation, all confidence and peace in the presence of difficulties and dangers, all repose of spirit in times of great disappointment or loss, all habitual communion with God – depends upon the practice of secret prayer.
Andrew Murray (1821-1917, South African pastor

L'amour et la colère de Dieu
D.A. Carson, The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God, Crossway, 2000, p. 70.
Both God’s love and God’s wrath are ratcheted up in the move from the old covenant to the new, from the Old Testament to the New. These themes barrel along through redemptive history, unresolved, until they come to a resounding climax – in the cross.

Progresser
J.I. Packer, Rediscovering Holiness, 1992, Regal, 1992, p. 138.
It is, in fact, a law of the spiritual life that the further you go, the more you are aware of the distance still to be covered. Your growing desire for God makes you increasingly conscious, not so much of where you are in your relationship with Him as of where as yet you are not.

Un ami est l'une des plus grandes bénédictions sur terre.
Un ami est l'une des plus grandes bénédictions sur terre. Ne me parlez pas d'argent : l'affection vaut mieux que l'or ; la sympathie vaut mieux que les terres. C 'est le pauvre homme qui n'a pas d'amis. J'en connais un qui est plus proche qu'un frère. (Proverbes 18:24) Je connais Celui qui est prêt à être votre ami pour le temps et pour l'éternité, si vous le recevez. Écoutez-moi, pendant que j'essaie de vous dire quelque chose sur Lui. L'Ami que je veux que tu saches est Jésus-Christ. Heureux est cette famille dans laquelle Christ a la place, la plus grande place ! Heureux est cette personne dont l'ami en chef est le Christ.

Dieu est le plus grand bien
Dieu est le plus grand bien de la créature rationnelle, et le plaisir en Lui est le seul bonheur avec lequel nos âmes peuvent être satisfaites. Profiter pleinement de Dieu dans le ciel est infiniment mieux que les habitations et lieux les plus agréables ici.

L'action du péché
En général, nous pouvons dire que certains péchés ont des conséquences plus néfastes que d'autres s'ils déshonorent davantage Dieu ou s'ils causent plus de tort à nous-mêmes, aux autres ou à l'Église. De plus, les péchés commis volontairement, de manière répétée et en connaissance de cause, avec un cœur insensible, déplaisent davantage à Dieu que ceux qui sont commis par ignorance et ne sont pas répétés, ou qui sont commis avec un mélange de motifs bons et impurs et sont suivis de remords et de repentir.
Wayne Grudem et Jeff Purswell
In general, we may say that some sins have more harmful consequences than others if they bring more dishonor to God or if they cause more harm to ourselves, to others, or to the church. Moreover, those sins that are done willfully, repeatedly, and knowingly, with a calloused heart, are more displeasing to God than those that are done out of ignorance and are not repeated, or are done with a mixture of good and impure motives and are followed by remorse and repentance.

L'épée de l'Esprit
Jonathan Edwards
It is the sword of the Spirit that pierces [Satan] and conquers him. It is that great and strong sword with which God punishes Leviathan, that crooked serpent. It is that sharp sword that proceeds out of the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, with which He smites his enemies. Every text is a dart to torment the old serpent. He has felt the stinging smart thousands of times. Therefore, he is engaged against the Bible and hates every word of it.
Jonathan Edwards
