Top Highlights

“Here begins a teaching chain of character-building virtues that form the core of the Christian life.” (Page 404)

“Abel’s more excellent sacrifice is offered as a witness that he was righteous, but we wonder why it was more excellent.” (Page 420)

“Thus it is not by good works or devoted efforts that righteousness with God is obtained. Salvation is not the result of our perfection or hard work. Salvation is the result of Christ’s sacrifice as the lamb ‘without spot’ (Hebrews 9:14) in our place. Indeed, we do not have to bring Christ down; He has already come down! Nor do we have to bring Him up from the grave; God has done that (Romans 8:11).” (Pages 411–412)

“Therefore Paul should be seen as giving an inspired application of those texts for the era of the new covenant. In so doing, he establishes that the righteousness obtained by faith is not based on our deeds or works of law. Even if we could perform supernatural actions such as those described in those passages, that would not be enough to gain right standing with God.” (Page 411)

“Often people today use the word hope to express a desire that they know has very little chance of becoming reality.” (Page 403)
