La nouvelle naissance
Ben Peays, Don't Call it a Comeback, édité par Kevin DeYoung, copyright 2011, page 86-87.
New birth is a term used to describe the new life the Spirit produces when we trust Jesus Christ. It’s also called regeneration, but perhaps the most popular term is born again (from a Greek word gennao, meaning “bear” or “beget”). When we are regenerated, we receive the new birth. We are all born into this world spiritually dead. When God in His grace regenerates our hearts, giving us new life, we become a new creation. God convicts us of our sin and enables us to believe in Christ. This belief unites us to Christ, and in this union we receive the benefits of His work on the cross – justification and forgiveness of sin and eternal life.

La revendication exclusive du christianisme
La revendication exclusive du christianisme au sujet du Christ n'est pas centrée sur notre conviction que Jésus avait raison au sujet de Dieu. Elle est centrée sur notre affirmation que Dieu était pleinement présent en Christ pour réconcilier le monde avec Lui-même (2 Cor. 5:18). C'est l'affirmation théologique de Jésus (qu'il est Dieu) qui rend les affirmations spirituelles de Jésus puissantes. Les paroles de Jésus sont justes parce que ce sont les paroles de Dieu (Jean 14.10b). La "voie" de Jésus n'est pas supérieure parce qu'elle promeut une éthique supérieure ou parce qu'elle défend des valeurs qui résonnent avec nos sensibilités spirituelles. La voie de Jésus est vraie parce qu'en Lui nous trouvons Dieu qui nous attire à Lui.
Gary Burge, John, 2000, p. 408.
The exclusive claim of Christianity about Christ is not centered on our belief that Jesus was right about God. It is centered on our claim that God was fully present in Christ to reconcile the world to Himself (2 Cor. 5:18). It is the theological claim about Jesus (that He is God) that makes the spiritual claims of Jesus potent. Jesus’ words are right because those words are God’s words (Jn. 14:10b). Jesus’ “way” is not superior because it promotes a higher ethic or because it champions values that resonate with our spiritual sensitivities. Jesus’ way is true because in Him we find God drawing us to Himself.

Aimer Dieu !
Kent Hughes, John : That You May Believe, Crossway, 1999, p. 474.
Nothing is of greater importance than loving God! If we fail to take this seriously, we may find at the end of our lives that all of our works counted for nothing… [However] He wants us to be before we do. Love first!

La repentance
La repentance signifie que je laisse libre la place sur le trône de ma vie. Elle est désormais occupée par le Roi de gloire. Il faut qu'il y régne, pas seulement en principe, mais de façon visible, par mon obéissance quotidienne, qui me donne de vivre dans sa puissance et dans sa grâce.

Les promesses et les dispositions du Christ
Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling, 2012, Crossway Books, p. 36.
If you are not feeding your soul on the realities of the presence, promises, and provisions of Christ, you will ask the people, situations, and things around you to be the messiah that they can never be. If you are not attaching your identity to the unshakable love of your Savior, you will ask the things in your life to be your Savior, and it will never happen. If you are not requiring yourself to get your deepest sense of well-being vertically, you will shop for it horizontally, and you will always come up empty. If you are not resting in the one true gospel, preaching it to yourself over and over again, you will look to another gospel to meet the needs of your unsettled heart.

Une Parole vivante est dynamique
David McKenna, How to Read a Christian Book, 2001, p. 17.
By definition, the living Word is dynamic, not static. Just as John described Jesus as a living…human organism whom people could touch and feel, the Word of life continues to be fully alive among us through the presence of the Holy Spirit. If we believe anything less, we make Jesus Christ an artifact of history and his Word a static truth of limited contemporary value. Neither is true. For those who believe, the living presence of Jesus Christ and the relevance of his Word is as real today as when he walked and talked on earth. Eternal, final, alive, and relevant – these adjectives describe the living Word.

Éphésiens 4:15
Éphésiens 4:15 nous dit de dire la vérité dans l'amour, et non de retenir la vérité dans l'amour.

Le pardon
Le pardon peut être décrit comme une décision de faire quatre promesses :
"Je ne m'attarderai pas sur cet incident. »
"Je n'évoquerai plus cet incident et ne l'utiliserai plus contre vous. »
"Je ne parlerai pas de cet incident aux autres »
"Je ne laisserai pas cet incident s'interposer entre nous ou entraver notre relation personnelle »
Ken Sande, The Peacemaker : Un guide biblique pour résoudre les conflits personnels, 3e édition, 2004, p. 209.
..Forgiveness may be described as a decision to make four promises:
“I will not dwell on this incident.”
“I will not bring up this incident again and use it against you.”
“I will not talk to others about this incident.”
“I will not let this incident stand between us or hinder our personal relationship.”
Ken Sande, The Peacemaker: A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict, 3rd ed., 2004, p. 209.

L'examiner et y réfléchir
Tim Challies, The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment, 2007, page 80.
When a doctrine or teaching is presented to me, I may examine it and mull it over. I may compare it to Scripture and seek to understand whether it is consistent with what God has revealed about Himself. But once I accept that doctrine I am responsible for it. If the doctrine is false and I choose to believe it, I can expect God to hold me accountable for believing something that is false.

Tout ce qui nous permet de glorifier Dieu
J.C. Ryle, Commentaire, Matthieu 25.
Anything whereby we may glorify God is a talent. Our gifts, our influence, our money, our knowledge, our health, our strength, our time, our senses, our reason, our intellect, our memory, our affections, our privileges as members of Christ’s Church, our advantages as possessors of the Bible – all, all are talents. Whence came these things? What hand bestowed them? Why are we what we are? Why are we not the worms that crawl on the earth? There is only one answer to these questions. All that we have is a loan from God. We are God’s stewards. We are God’s debtors. Let this thought sink deeply into our hearts.
J.C. Ryle, Commentary, Matthew 25.

Un avantage
Jerry Bridges, The Gospel for Real Life, 2002, p. 37-38.
There would be absolutely no benefit to us if Jesus merely lived and died as a private person. It is only because He lived and died as our representative that His work becomes beneficial to us.

Perturbation spirituelle
Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling, 2012, Crossway Books, p. 34.
Sin plays havoc with our spiritual vision. Although we are able to see the sin of others with specificity and clarity, we tend to be blind to our own. And the most dangerous aspect of this already dangerous condition is that spiritually blind people tend to be blind to their blindness.

Ils décrivent l’avant et l’après-résurrection, c’est tout.
Trop souvent, aujourd’hui, on aimerait avoir le film de la résurrection telle qu’elle s’est déroulée. Il convient de rappeler que les Evangiles canoniques ont résisté à cette tentation. Ils décrivent l’avant et l’après-résurrection, c’est tout.

Une description de la mort
Greg Gilbert, Don't Call it a Comeback, 2011, page 72.
Shredded flesh against unforgiving wood, iron stakes pounded through bone and wracked nerves, joints wrenched out of socket by the sheer dead weight of the body, public humiliation before the eyes of family, friends, and the world – that was death on the cross, “the infamous stake” as the Romans called it, “the barren wood,” the maxima mala crux. Or as the Greeks spat it out, the stauros. No wonder no one talked about it. No wonder parents hid their children’s eyes from it. The stauros was a loathsome thing, and the one who died on it was loathsome too, a vile criminal whose only use was to hang there as a putrid, decaying warning to anyone else who might follow his example. That is how Jesus died.
