The Grace of God

Paul David Tripp is one of my favorite authors. I would highly recommend his books like Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands along with How People Change co-authored with Tim Lane.

Paul has a twitter sight in which he gives daily observations about the gospel and grace. Below are some insights that challenge me to think and reflect more on the grace of God.

"No matter how attractive it may seem, your tiny little kingdom of one has no capacity whatsoever to satisfy your heart."

"You live in a bad neighborhood (fallen world), but the God who determined your address lives there with you giving you everything you need."

"Your hope is not found in people, places, situations or possessions, but in this one thing, your Redeemer lives and is with you always."

"God's gift of grace should never result in moral laziness. The sacrificial gift of grace is essential because sin really is that serious."

"Grace frees you from trying to earn what you could not earn and then calls you to do what you would be unable to do without grace."
