Follow along if your heart is restless for Him.

Yes it is. Salvation begins with God, but it does not bypass the human will. Grace awakens the heart and enables the faith it calls for. It does not override it, but liberates it. We are chosen and we truly choose.

Is this a biblically accurate statement?

The Pharisee prayed about himself. The sinner cried out to God. Guess who went home justified.

Love is not God’s mood. Love is God’s nature.

If salvation were partly ours, we would either be proud or terrified. Proud if we think we did enough. Terrified if we think we didn’t. But if it is entirely of grace, then there is no boasting and no fear.

Salvation is 100% God 🎯

@DrFrankTurek If God exists, miracles are not extraordinary; they are interruptions by the Author of reality. The resurrection is not extraordinary within theism. It is extraordinary within naturalism.

Do extraordinary claims reqire extraordinary evidence? Why or why not?

Forgiveness is not excusing sin; it’s refusing to let sin have the last word.

The prodigal is not the hero of the story. Neither is the moral brother who stayed home. Both were lost: one in rebellion, the other in pride. The true hero is the Father who runs toward sinners and meets us in both our rebellion and our religion.

Amen. The cross shows that God does not set justice aside to save us. He satisfies it Himself. In Jesus, God takes the judgment we deserve so that He can give us the righteousness we could never earn. The gospel is not God relaxing His standards, but God meeting them on our behalf.

Jesus provides the ransom. He is the only one who can pay off our debt of sin because he is sinless. So, he takes our sin upon himself, our punishment upon himself. God remains just, and he's the justifier.

Holiness is not moral pride. It is a surrendered heart that says, “Lord, use me.”

Where Did Lazarus Go When He Died? #Theology #Bible

We were made for God. We turned from Him and lost ourselves. Jesus came to bring us home.

How would you summarize the biblical story in three short sentences or less?

@DrFrankTurek The question is not which worldview we prefer. It is which worldview best explains reality: Why there is something rather than nothing. Why reason works. Why moral obligations bind us. Why consciousness exists.

What best explains reality: atheism or theism?
