Justin Perdue quote
In the Christian life, we are propelled forward in pursuing good works and righteousness by being pointed to Christ, not ourselves.
We are motivated by love, gratitude, joy, safety, security, and peace--not fear and doubt.
Olevianus, Caspar, An Exposition of the Apostles’ Creed - via John Fonville
Struggling believer do not fear Christ's return and the final judgment: ". . . the very person of the Judge removes all our fear. For the Father handed over all judgment to the Son as the Son of Man so that He might calm our consciences and remove all terror of condemnation (John 5:22, 27). This is because we believe now that He will be the Judge, and also because with our eyes we will gaze on Him in whose body our sins have been atoned for and the entire curse removed (Heb. 9:28; Titus 2:12–14)." Olevianus, Caspar, An Exposition of the Apostles’ Creed
