Selon la Bible, les bons motifs pour l'évangélisation sont un désir d'obéissance, un amour pour les perdus et un amour pour Dieu.
Mark Dever, The Gospel and Personal Evangelism, Crossway, 2007, p. 96.
According to the Bible, good motives for evangelism are a desire to be obedient, a love for the lost, and a love for God.
Mark Dever, The Gospel and Personal Evangelism, Crossway, 2007, p. 96.
Dieu n'est pas obligé de sauver qui que ce soit, de faire un acte de grâce particulier, d'attirer qui que ce soit à Lui. Il pourrait laisser le monde entier périr, et ce serait un jugement juste.
R.C. Sproul, The Purpose of God, An Exposition of Ephesians, Christian Focus Publications, 1994, p. 25.
God is not obligated to save anybody, to make any special act of grace, to draw anyone to Himself. He could leave the whole world to perish, and such would be a righteous judgment.
R.C. Sproul, The Purpose of God, An Exposition of Ephesians, Christian Focus Publications, 1994, p. 25.
Dans la résurrection, nous avons la présence de l'avenir. La puissance par laquelle Dieu détruira finalement toute souffrance, tout mal, toute difformité et toute mort à la fin des temps a fait irruption dans l'histoire maintenant et est disponible - partiellement mais substantiellement - maintenant. Lorsque nous nous unissons au Christ ressuscité par la foi, cette puissance future, suffisamment puissante pour refaire l'univers, entre en nous.
Tim Keller, Hope in Times of Fear : The Resurrection and the Meaning of Easter, Viking, 2021, p. 31.
In the resurrection we have the presence of the future. The power by which God will finally destroy all suffering, evil, deformity, and death at the end of time has broken into history now and is available—partially but substantially—now. When we unite with the risen Christ by faith, that future power that is potent enough to remake the universe comes into us.

Mark Dever et Michael Lawrence, It Is Well, page 85.
Though it was His human nature that suffered the pains of physical death, it was His divine nature that gave His suffering its infinite value and dignity, so making it effective as a ransom for many.

Jerry Bridges, The Gospel for Real Life, 2002, p. 71-72.
Propitiation addresses the wrath of God. It is the work of Christ saving us from God’s wrath by absorbing it in His own person as our substitute. Expiation, which basically means “removal,” accompanies propitiation and speaks of the work of Christ in removing or putting away our sin. Such is the symbolism of the two goats used on the Day of Atonement. The first goat represented Christ’s work of propitiation as it was killed and its blood sprinkled on the mercy seat. The second goat represented Christ’s work of expiation in removing or blotting out the sins that were against us. The object of propitiation is the wrath of God. The object of expiation is the sin, which must be removed from His presence.

Philip Graham Ryken, When You Pray, Crossway Books, 2000, p. 82.
Some Christians misunderstand God’s plan for His kingdom. They want to establish it their own way rather than waiting for God to do it His way. God’s way of establishing the kingdom is primarily through the preaching of the cross. But that does not seem very effective to most people. They would prefer to use force, which is the kind of thinking that leads to bloody crusades. Or they would rather entertain people into the kingdom, which is the kind of thinking that leads to man-centered worship.
Philip Graham Ryken, When You Pray, Crossway Books, 2000, p. 82.
La personne oublieuse de soi ne serait jamais particulièrement blessée par la critique. Elle ne serait pas dévastée, elle ne se coucherait pas tard, elle ne serait pas dérangée. Pourquoi ? Parce qu'une personne qui est dévastée par la critique accorde trop de valeur à ce que les autres pensent, à l'opinion des autres.
Tim Keller, La liberté de l'oubli de soi, 2017, 10 Éditions, p. 33.
The self-forgetful person would never be hurt particularly badly by criticism. It would not devastate them, it would not keep them up late, it would not bother them. Why? Because a person who is devastated by criticism is putting too much value on what other people think, on other people’s opinions.
Tim Keller, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness, 2017, 10 Publishing, p. 33.
En tant que seule personne à venir de l'éternité sur la terre, puis à retourner dans l'éternité, Jésus connaît toute la vérité - passée, présente et future - et peut vous donner une perspective unique.

A LIFE GOD REWARDS, 2002
As the only person to come from eternity to earth,then return to eternity, Jesus knows the whole truth— past, present and future—and can give you a one-of-a-kind perspective.

[Basé sur une fausse prémisse] la douleur et la souffrance soulèvent un dilemme. Les philosophes argumentent souvent : "Si Dieu est bon, alors il n'est pas tout-puissant ; et s'il est tout-puissant, alors il n'est pas bon." La souffrance, insistent-ils, n'est pas compatible avec une divinité omnipotente et bienveillante. Si Dieu était à la fois bon et omnipotent, il ne permettrait jamais la souffrance. Puisque la misère et la souffrance existent, soit Dieu n'est pas bon, soit il n'est pas tout-puissant.
John Gerstner, The Problem of Pleasure, Soli Deo Gloria, 2002, p. 1.
[Based on a false premise] pain and suffering raise a dilemma. Philosophers commonly argue: “If God is good, then He is not all-powerful; and if He is all-powerful, then He is not good.” Suffering, they insist, is not compatible with an omnipotent, benevolent deity. If God were both good and omnipotent, He would never allow suffering. Since misery and suffering do occur, He is either not good or He is not all-powerful.
John Gerstner, The Problem of Pleasure, Soli Deo Gloria, 2002, p. 1.
John Piper, Brothers, We Are Not Professionals, Bethlehem Baptist Church, 2002, p. 55.
A cry for help from the heart of a childlike believer is sweet praise in the ears of God. Nothing exalts Him more than the collapse of self-reliance which issues in passionate prayer for help. “Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me” (Ps. 50:15). Prayer is the translation into a thousand different words of a single sentence: “Apart from me [Christ] you can do nothing” (John 15:5).
John Piper, Brothers, We Are Not Professionals, Bethlehem Baptist Church, 2002, p. 55.
Un dilemme n'existerait que s'il n'y avait pas de souffrance dans un monde de péché. Il faudrait alors dire qu'il ne peut y avoir de vrai Dieu. S'il n'y avait pas d'adversité dans un monde pécheur, soit Dieu ne serait pas bon, soit il ne serait pas omnipotent. Soit il ne se soucierait pas de l'impunité du péché, et donc il ne serait pas bon, soit il serait incapable de punir le péché, et donc il ne serait pas omnipotent. Ce serait un vrai problème dans notre monde, où le péché abonde manifestement.
John Gerstner, The Problem of Pleasure, Soli Deo Gloria, 2002, p. 3.
A dilemma would exist only if there were no suffering in a sinful world. Then we would have to say there cannot be a true God. Were there no adversity in a sinful world, God either would not be good or would not be omnipotent. Either He would be unconcerned about sin’s being unpunished, and therefore not good, or He would be unable to punish sin, and therefore not omnipotent. That would be a real problem in our world, where sin obviously abounds.
John Gerstner, The Problem of Pleasure, Soli Deo Gloria, 2002, p. 3.
John Hannah, To God be the Glory, Crossway, 2000, p. 24.
We have been made to mirror God’s holiness and righteousness back to God, not so we may benefit (though there are immeasurable benefits to personal godliness), but so God will be glorified in beholding Himself in His creatures.
John Hannah, To God be the Glory, Crossway, 2000, p. 24.
John Piper, The Dangerous Duty of Delight, 2011.
The nature and depth of human pride are illuminated by comparing boasting to self-pity. Both are manifestations of pride. Boasting is the response of pride to success. Self-pity is the response of pride to suffering. Boasting says, “I deserve admiration because I have achieved so much.” Self-pity says, “I deserve admiration because I have suffered so much.” Boasting is the voice of pride in the heart of the strong. Self-pity is the voice of pride in the heart of the weak. Boasting sounds self-sufficient. Self-pity sounds self-sacrificing. The reason self-pity does not look like pride is that it appears to be so needy. But the need arises from a wounded ego. It doesn’t come from a sense of unworthiness, but from a sense of unrecognized worthiness. It is the response of unapplauded pride. Christian Hedonism severs the root of self-pity. People don’t feel self-pity when suffering is accepted for the sake of joy.
John Piper, The Dangerous Duty of Delight, 2011.
Wayne Grudem et Jeff Purswell
We must therefore affirm both that God has no succession of moments in His own being and sees all history equally vividly, and that in His creation He sees the progress of events over time and acts differently at different points of in time; in short, He is the Lord who created time and who rules over it and uses it for His own purposes. God can act in time because He is Lord of time.
Wayne Grudem and Jeff Purswell
Nier l'amour spécial de Dieu et croire que le Christ aime tous les hommes de la même manière, c'est supposer que le Christ n'a pas fait plus pour ceux que le Père lui a donnés que pour l'humanité en général. Mais si les chrétiens ne sont pas plus aimés que ceux qui seront finalement perdus, le facteur décisif du salut devient, non pas la grâce et l'amour de Dieu, mais quelque chose en eux, et leur persévérance devient dépendante d'eux-mêmes.
Iain Murray, The Old Evangelicalism : Old Truths for a New Awakening, 2005, p. 119.
To deny the special love of God, and to believe that Christ loves all men equally, is to suppose that Christ has done no more for those the Father has given to Him than for mankind at large. But if Christians are no more loved than those who will finally be lost, the decisive factor in salvation becomes, not God’s grace and love, but something in them, and their perseverance becomes dependent upon themselves.
