Our righteousness is like filthy ragsHuman attempts to please God through good deeds and religious checklists are worthless before God, because all our righteousness is as filthy rags.Isaiah 64:6
The greatest expression of God's loveGod demonstrated His compassion by sending His Son to die for us while we were still sinners and without strength.Romans 5:6
Jesus alone reveals the FatherNo one knows the Father except the Son and the one to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.Matthew 11:27
Three things we must do to experience restJesus instructs us to come to Him, take His easy yoke upon us, and learn from Him to find true rest for our souls.Matthew 11:28–30
Obedience and manifestation in ChristThose who keep Jesus' commandments are the ones who love Him, and the Father will love them and manifest Himself to them.John 14:21
God uses people simply because He loves othersWhen God uses someone in ministry, it is never because they are spiritual or capable, but because He has tremendous compassion for people and wants to reach them.
Jesus moved with compassion for the harvestSeeing the people distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd, Jesus felt deep compassion and called on His disciples to pray for workers.Matthew 9:36–38
God gives the increaseNeither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything; it is God who loves people and brings the increase.
God can use anyone, even a donkeyIf God could use an evil-hearted prophet like Balaam and even a donkey to speak His truth, any usefulness in our own lives stems entirely from His love for others.
A warning against high-mindednessBelievers are warned not to think more highly of themselves than they ought to think, but to have sound judgment through the grace and measure of faith God gives.Romans 12:3
