In the parable of Jesus,
the shepherd saves not merely the soul of the lost sheep
but the whole animal.
Albert Schweitzer

If I am a Christian, I am not set on saving my own skin,
but on seeing that the salvation of God

comes through me to others,
and the great way is by intercession.
Oswald Chambers

The most wonderful thing of all is not

that my sins have been forgiven,
nor that I may enjoy certain experiences

and blessing as a Christian.
The thing that should astound me ...

is that I am a child of God, one of God's people.
D. Martyn Lloyd_Jones

No sooner do we believe that God loves us
than there is an impulse to believe that He does so,
not because He is Love,
but because we are intrinsically loveable.
C.S. Lewis
