Jesus Christ's claim of divinity is the most serious claim anyone ever made. Everything about Christianity hinges on His carnation, crucifixion, and resurrection. That's what Christmas, Good Friday, and Easter are all about.

David Jeremiah
There are three simple steps that we can take in our lives to protect or repair our reputation and maintain our spiritual sincerity. The first step is to pray. We commit our plans to God and ask Him to guard our hearts against insincerity. We ask Him to make us aware, through the prompting of the Holy Spirit, of past interactions in which we were less than sincere. This gives us the opportunity to seek out people we may have offended and make amends. The second step is to examine ourselves. The roots of our insincerity could spring from a desire to be liked (saying things people want to hear) or a cavalier attitude toward making plans (agreeing to things without first checking schedules), or from a place of ignorance (being unaware of how others perceive us)... The third step is to place a renewed emphasis on sincerity and integrity. We do this in both big and small ways... We build a reputation as someone whose walk with Christ is genuine and sincere.
David Jeremiah
Jean Calvin
Either faith in Christ can cleanse all people of their sin, or none, but not some... The truth of Christ's death, resurrection and power over sin is absolute.
John Calvin
John Wesley
Orthodoxy, or right opinion, is, at best, a very slender part of religion. Though right tempers cannot subsist without right opinions, yet right opinions may subsist without right tempers. There may be a right opinion of God without either love or one right temper toward Him. Satan is a proof of this.
John Wesley
John MacArthur, 1 Corinthiens, Moody, 1984, p. 43.
Human wisdom sometimes sees the immediate cause of a problem but it does not see the root, which is always sin. It may see that selfishness is a cause of injustice, but it has no way to remove selfishness. It may see that hatred causes misery and pain and destruction, but it has no cure for hatred. It can see plainly that man does not get along with man, but it does not see that the real cause is that man does not get along with God. Human wisdom cannot see because it will not see. As long as it looks on God’s wisdom as foolishness, its own wisdom will be foolish. In other words, human wisdom itself is a basic part of the problem.
John MacArthur, 1 Corinthiens, Moody, 1984, p. 43.

The cross lies at the heart of all God did through Jesus Christ. It is the supreme example of God’s power and wisdom displayed in what the world considers weakness and foolishness (1 Corinthians 1:18-25). And anyone who wants to know God must find Him in Christ crucified.
Donald S. Whitney
Kim Riddlebarger
We are not sanctified by our good works, rather, because God sanctified us, by grace, He produces good works in our lives. In fact, we do not sanctify ourselves any more than we justify ourselves. Sanctification is God’s work, and His work in us produces good works.

Loraine Boettner, The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination, 1974, p. 359
The cause of any person believing is the will of God; and the outward sound of the Gospel strikes the ear but in vain until God is pleased to touch the heart within.
Loraine Boettner, The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination, 1974, p. 359
Si chaque attribut de la Déité était un membre distinct, la sainteté serait l'âme qui les animerait. Sans la sainteté, sa patience serait une indulgence pour le péché, sa miséricorde une tendresse, sa colère une folie, sa puissance une tyrannie, sa sagesse une subtilité indigne... La sainteté leur donne à tous un décorum.
Stephen Charnock
If every attribute of the Deity were a distinct member, holiness would be the soul to animate them. Without holiness His patience would be an indulgence to sin, His mercy a fondness, His wrath a madness, His power a tyranny, His wisdom an unworthy subtlety.Holiness gives decorum to them all.
Stephen Charnock
Richard Rohr
The cross is the standing statement of what we do to one another and to ourselves. The resurrection is the standing statement of what God does to us in return.
Richard Rohr
Charles H. Spurgeon
In spiritual things, when God has raised a desire, He always gratifies it; hence the longing is prophetic of the blessing. In no case is the desire of the living thing excited to produce distress, but in order that it may seek and find satisfaction.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Adrian Rogers wrote : "He died to make you holy. You are not your own. 1 Corinthians 6:20 says 'For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."
Jim Elliff
As a philosophical idea, God’s decreeing of a thing has dominance over His seeing a thing beforehand. Even though…the word foreknowledge is more than pre-sight, we nonetheless cannot disregard the verity that God sees all things beforehand. Thus God’s seeing all things has forever been a reality to Him, and God’s determining all things has also been forever. These two have had eternal origins. As long as He has decreed, He has known; and as long as He has known, He has decreed. So, in one sense, we cannot put one philosophical idea ahead of the other in terms of time. Yet we can put one above the other in terms of dominance. If God has seen and determined at the same time, we cannot make His decreeing subservient to His knowing. The reason one is preceding the other in terms of force (not time) is that determination is a willful act of God, whereas seeing is a passive act. God cannot help but see all, but He wills to decree. Therefore what He determines, He sees; and what He sees, is determined. The force of decreeing a thing dominates the seeing.

Adrian Rogers wrote : « Prayer can do anything God can do and God can do anything!"
Le contraste est grand pour le croyant qui sait que la mort a été vaincue : “Notre Sauveur Jésus Christ… a annulé la mort et a fait luire la vie… par l’évangile” (2 Timothée 1. 10). Pour lui, elle est le sommeil du corps pendant que l’âme est recueillie dans la présence du Seigneur. Il peut dire : “Nous aimons mieux être absents du corps et être présents avec le Seigneur” (2 Corinthiens 5. 8). S’il réalise que son corps dépérit de jour en jour (nous mourons, au présent), il est encouragé et peut se fier aux promesses divines : “Même quand je marcherais par la vallée de l’ombre de la mort, je ne craindrai aucun mal ; car tu es avec moi” (Psaume 23. 4) ».
