John Ortberg Quotes About Sin

• Many Christians expend so much energy and worry trying not to sin. The goal is not to try to sin less. In all your efforts to keep from sinning, what are you focusing on? Sin. God wants you to focus on him. To be with him. “Abide in me.” Just relax and learn to enjoy his presence. Every day is a collection of moments, 86,400 seconds in a day. How many of them can you live with God? Start where you are and grow from there. God wants to be with you every moment.

• La baja autoestima me hace creer que valgo tan poco que mi respuesta no importa. Con el arrepentimiento, sin embargo, entiendo que valgo tanto para Dios que mi respuesta es tan importante. El arrepentimiento es un trabajo correctivo para arreglar nuestras mentes y corazones, que se doblan por el pecado.

• Dios nunca es un Dios de desaliento. Cuando tengas un espíritu o un pensamiento desalentador en tu mente, puedes estar seguro de que no viene de Dios. A veces Dios trae dolor a sus hijos: condena por el pecado, arrepentimiento por la caída, desafíos que nos asustan o visiones de su santidad que nos abruman. Pero Dios nunca trae desánimo.

• When I repent, here is where it starts. I try to name my sin as honestly and as specifically as possible. Here is what repenting is not. It is not excusing my sin, minimizing my sin, it's not rationalizing my sin ... Repentance is getting painfully honest with God.
