“[God's] love for us was displayed most clearly through the cross of Christ. There our Lord stretched out His bloodstained hands to say, "I love you this much!”

“Our deeds will not cause God to love us more; our sins will not cause God to love us less.”

“Even in our own lives, we often struggle with a God who is real, who created us, who cares for us, and desires to know us. Yet from the start, God has made clear that you and I are made in his image, on purpose and for a purpose.”

“God saves us because He loves us. It has nothing to do with our goodness or nobility, our achievements or agility. Our salvation depends completely upon our Savior.”

“We don't earn God's love; we receive it. We don't work for His approval; He approves us.”

“There is nothing we could ever do to make God love us more; there is nothing we can do to make Him love us less.”

“It is when we experience God most closely that our hearts burn most passionately to show his compassion to others.”
