“If God’s love is so great, if His salvation is so powerful, if God has granted such reconciliation, then believers should live accordingly. They should value God’s love enough to be shaped by it.”

“Paul had the ability to see everything in the light of how it affected Christ. He saw everything vertically before he saw it horizontally.  His motives were Christ’s. His standards were Christ’s. His objectives were Christ’s. His vision was Christ’s. His entire orientation was Christ’s. Everything he thought, planned, said, and did was in relationship to his Lord Jesus Christ. He was at the fullest sense, a captive of the Lord Jesus Christ…” -John McArthur
