Michael Horton Quotes About Christ

• Nadie se ofenderá si le decimos que es una buena persona que podría ser un poco mejor. La ofensa viene cuando les decimos que ellos -y nosotros- somos impíos que no podemos impresionar a Dios ni escapar a su tribunal. Hasta que nuestra predicación de la ley no haya expuesto nuestros corazones y la santidad de Dios a ese nivel profundo, nuestros oyentes nunca huirán sólo a Cristo en busca de seguridad, aunque acudan a nosotros en busca de consejo.

• To preach the Bible as 'the handbook for life,' or as the answer to every question, rather than as the revelation of Christ, is to turn the Bible into an entirely different book. This is how the Pharisees approached Scripture, as we can see clearly from the questions they asked Jesus. For the Pharisees, the Scriptures were a source of trivia for life's dilemmas.

• El evangelio de la sumisión, el compromiso, la decisión y la vida victoriosa no es una buena noticia sobre lo que Dios ha conseguido, sino una exigencia de salvarnos a nosotros mismos con la ayuda de Dios. Además del hecho de que las Escrituras nunca se refieren al evangelio como tener una relación personal con Jesús ni definen la fe como una decisión de pedirle a Jesús que entre en nuestro corazón, este concepto de salvación no se da cuenta de que todo el mundo ya tiene una relación personal con Dios: ya sea como criminal condenado que comparece ante un juez justo o como coheredero justificado con Cristo e hijo adoptivo del Padre.

• You can't find a YouTube clip to become a craftsman, friend, parent - or disciple of Christ. It's all of grace. And to grow in that grace, you need two things: time and community.

• Once we truly grasp the message of the New Testament, it is impossible to read the Old Testament again without seeing Christ on every page, in every story, foreshadowed or anticipated in every event and narrative. The Bible must be read as a whole, beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation, letting promise and fulfillment guide or expectations for what we will find there.

• As Paul argues, it is the righteousness of God that is revealed in the law, and this condemns us all (Ro 1:18 - 3:20), while the gospel reveals the righteousness from God, namely, that we "are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Ro 3:24).

• If we think the main mission of the church is to improve life in Adam and add a little moral strength to this fading evil age, we have not yet understood the radical condition for which Christ is such a radical solution.

• Faith in Christ is able to endure doubts-it's able to endure temptations-bec ause it faces them, not because it pretends they're not there.

• At the end of the day, we need to stop thinking about what we can make of ourselves and start thinking more about who God is, what he has done and is doing in Christ for us and for our neighbors, and how he can use us and our fellow brothers and sisters to be instruments of his gift-giving.

• As we are brought into God's extraordinary kingdom through ordinary means, we are remade, no longer fashioned as competitors for commodities in a world of scarce resources, but as co-sharers with Christ in the circulation of gifts that flows outward from its source without running out.
