Ben Peays, Don't Call it a Comeback, édité par Kevin DeYoung, 2011, page 91.
Unfortunately, many Christians think of salvation only in terms of getting into heaven and avoiding hell. Christ becomes not a way unto life, but merely a way to avoid death, reduced to a get-out-of-jail-free card or – even worse – fire insurance (you’ve seen those bumper stickers). This leaves many Christians understanding what they are saved from, but not having a good understanding of what they are saved into. One danger of evangelism that reduces Christianity to making a decision between heaven and hell is that it overlooks the value of the new birth for our earthly life.
Ben Peays, Don’t Call it a Comeback, edited by Kevin DeYoung, 2011, page 91.
Ce n'est pas parce que nous sommes montés dans une voiture que nous sommes qualifiés pour la conduire. En un sens, nous avons été les passagers de la voiture de la foi de nos parents... Mais ce n'est pas parce que nous avons vu leur foi en action que nous avons automatiquement la même foi. Voyez-vous, le salut est une question de cœur, pas de cœur de vos parents. Vous devez avoir la foi. Vous devez croire. Ne manquez pas ces mots importants dans Romains 10:9 : "crois dans ton cœur »
Karl Graustein, Growing Up Christian, 2005, p. 35.
Just because we have ridden in a car doesn’t mean that we are qualified to drive a car. In a sense, we have been passengers in the car of our parents’ faith… But just because we have seen their faith in action doesn’t automatically mean that we have the same faith. You see, salvation is a matter of your heart, not your parents’ hearts. You must have faith. You must believe. Don’t miss those important words in Romans 10:9: “believe in your heart.”

David Powlison, Seeing With New Eyes, 2003, p. 161.
The Christian life is a great paradox. Those who die to self, find self. Those who die to their cravings will receive many times as much in this age, and, in the age to come, eternal life (Luke 18:29). They will find new passions worth living for and dying for. If I crave happiness, I will receive misery. If I crave to be loved, I will receive rejection. If I crave significance, I will receive futility. If I crave control, I will receive chaos. If I crave reputation, I will receive humiliation. But if I long for God and His wisdom and mercy, I will receive God and wisdom and mercy. Along the way, sooner or later, I will also receive happiness, love, meaning, order, and glory.

Alexander Strauch, Leading With Love, Lewis and Roth, 2006, p.51, utilisé avec permission.
Boasting or bragging is a sinful preoccupation with oneself. Braggarts crave attention. They want others to praise their abilities, knowledge, successes, and even their sufferings for God. Because they desire recognition, they speak too highly and too much of themselves, although they may have nothing significant to say.

When the voice of Christ speaks through the Word, then you will arise, and leave all, and follow Him.

[Les gens doivent être informés honnêtement de ce qu'ils entreprennent, s'ils professent le désir de quitter le monde et de servir le Christ. Il ne faut pas les presser dans les rangs de l'armée du Christ sans leur dire ce que le combat implique.
J.C. Ryle, Holiness, Moody Publishers, copyright 2010, p. 149.
[People] ought to be told honestly what it is they are taking up, if they profess a desire to come out from the world and serve Christ. They ought not to be pressed into the ranks of Christ’s army without being told what the warfare entails.

Paul dit en Romains 12:19 que nous ne devons pas nous venger, et la raison en est précisément que nous ne devons pas nous attendre à ce que Dieu ne se venge pas. Ne vous vengez pas, dit Paul, car Dieu le fera très certainement.
Mark Dever et Michael Lawrence, It Is Well, 2010, Crossway Books, page 34.
Paul says in Romans 12:19 that we are not to take revenge, and the reason is precisely that we should not expect God not to take revenge. Do not take revenge, Paul says because God most certainly will.

Every sin is founded on a lie – the lie of unbelief directed toward God’s Son and His declared truth.

John Piper, The Dangerous Duty of Delight, 2011, p. 202.
The way to think about self-denial is to deny yourself only a lesser good for a greater good… Jesus wants us to think about sacrifice in a way that rules out all self-pity. This is, in fact, just what the texts on self-denial teach.
