You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have.

The Reason Why Christ Suffered
Christ did not suffer so you wouldn’t suffer. He suffered so when you suffer you will become like Him.

We Don’t Need Better Methods
It is not better methods, but better men and women who know their Redeemer from personal experience — men and women who see his vision and feel his passion for the world — men and women who are willing to be nothing so that he might be everything — men and women who want only for Christ to produce his life in and through them according to his own good pleasure. This finally is the way the Master planned for his objective to be realized on the earth, and where it is carried through by his strategy, the gates of hell cannot prevail against the evangelization of the world.
Robert E. Coleman, The Master Plan of Evangelism (Grand Rapids: Baker Publishing Group, 2010), 109.
Jesus Died To Make a Pure People
Jesus did not die just to save us from the penalty of sin, nor even just to make us holy in our standing before God. He died to purify for Himself a people eager to obey Him, a people eager to be transformed into His likeness.
Jerry Bridges, Transforming Grace (Colorado Springs: NavPress, 1991), 105.
I Have Been Bought with a Price
I have been bought with a price. And I will live every moment of this day so that the Great Purchaser of my soul will receive the full reward of His suffering.

There Is One Mediator
We have but one Saviour; and that one Saviour is Jesus Christ our Lord. Nothing we are and nothing that we can do enters in the slightest measure into the ground of our acceptance with God. Jesus did it all.

WWJD & HWJDI
Hang that question up in your houses, “What would Jesus do?” and then think of another, “How would Jesus do it?” for what he would do, and how he would do it, may always stand as the best guide to us.
Where God Himself Cannot Go
On Jesus Christ’s baptism:
If you can look on Jesus the Christ coming up out of the water praying for Himself and for you as your Mediator, and if you will take home to your heart of hearts these glorious words spoken over him by His Father, then His Father is well pleased with you henceforth, for His righteousness sake. And what more would you have? What more, what better, could God Himself do for you, or for any man, than to proclaim you accepted in His beloved Son. Beyond that even God cannot go.
