2 Corinthians 5:6-82 Timothy 1:101 John 4:11 Thessalonians 5:21Paul Tournier – “We are always nearly longing for an easy religion, easy to understand and easy to follow. A religion with no mystery, no insoluble problems, no snags. A religion that would allow us to escape from our miserable human condition. A religion in which contact with God spares us all strife, all uncertainty, all suffering, and all doubt. In short, religion without the cross.”Alexander Whyte – “But what Satan could not do with all his Sibeans and all the Chaldeans and all his winds from the wilderness to help him, that he soon did with the debating approaches and the controversial assaults of Eliphaz and Zophar and Bildad and Elihu. Oh, the unmitigable curse of controversy.”
CROSS-REFERENCES:- Daniel 12:2-3- John 5:19-20John Bunyan – “Oh this lamb of God! He had a whole heaven to Himself, myriads of angels to do His bidding, but that could not satisfy Him. He must have sinners to share it with Him.” Charles Spurgeon – “Some of you good people who do nothing except go to public meetings, the Bible readings, and prophetic conferences and other forms of spiritual dissipation would be a good deal better if you would look after the poor and needy around you. If you would just tuck up your sleeves for work and go tell the gospel to dying men, you would find your spiritual health mightily restored, for very much of the sickness of Christians comes through their having nothing to do. All feeding and no working makes men spiritual dyspeptics (suffering from indigestion or consequent irritability, or depression). Be idle, careless, with nothing to live for, no sinner to pray for, no backslider to lead back to the cross, no trembler to encourage, no little child to tell of the Savior, no grey headed man to enlighten in the things of God, no object to live for. And who wonders if you begin to groan and to murmur, and to look within until You are ready to die of despair?”Robert Moffat – “We'll have all eternity to celebrate our victories, but only one short hour before sunset to win them.”

Meyers - “The only hope of a decreasing self is an increasing Christ.”William Carey - “When I am gone, don't talk about William Carey. Talk about William Carey's Savior.

And it brings with it the potential equipment for adjustment to the world. . .It's moving from one kind of life and form and environment to another. To be born again means a transformation of a person so that he is able to enter another world and adapt to its condition.”J. C. Ryle – “There has to be a change of heart, the will, the character by a new nature, new habits, new judgments, new tastes, new appetites, new opinions, new hopes, and new fears.”Ray Stedman – “Jesus was referring to a transfer of citizenship, a radical departure from what we once were.” (Colossians 1:13)
CROSS-REFERENCES:- 1 Kings 8:39- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20- 2 Corinthians 6:16- Ephesians 4:26-27- Hebrews 1:8-9- Revelation 3:19William Temple, renowned archbishop of Cantebury, as defining worship as “quickening the conscience by the holiness of God, feeding the mind with the truth of God, purging the imagination by the beauty of God, opening the heart to the love of God, and devoting the will to the purpose of God.”G. Campbell Morgan – “God seeks and values the gifts we bring Him—gifts of praise, thanksgiving, service, and material offerings. In all such giving at the altar we enter into the highest experiences of fellowship. But the gift is acceptable to God in the measure to which the one who offers it is in fellowship with Him in character and conduct; and the test of this is in our relationships with our fellow men. We are thus charged to postpone giving to God until right relationships are established with others. Could the neglect of this be the explanation of barrenness of our worship?” (Matthew 5:24)“Man's affections may be stirred, man's intelligence informed, man's conscience convicted. But still God cannot trust him.”
