In order to live a life of holiness, we must first receive new life from God – we must be born from above.
– J. Vernon McGee
Holiness
Don’t say that a loving God is going to send you to hell – He’s not. The thing that’s going to send you to hell is that you’re a sinner and you don’t want to admit it.

Jesus was not tempted to see if He would fall. He was tempted to show that He could not fall.

Temptation
If you feel that you can follow a few little rules or some clever gimmicks to make you a mature Christian, then you have fallen into a subtle trap of legalism.

Christianity | Legalism
Faith is not a leap in the dark. Faith is not a “hope so.” Faith is substance and evidence – substance for a scientific mind, and evidence for a legal mind.
– J. Vernon McGee
Faith
You can believe a whole lot of foolish things, but God doesn’t want you to do that. He wants your faith to rest upon the Word of God.

Faith | Scripture | Foolishness
If a sinner comes into your assembly or you otherwise come into contact with him, remember that he is a human being for whom Christ died. He stands at the foot of the cross, just as you stand at the foot of the cross.

There is a brotherhood within the body of believers, and the Lord Jesus Christ is the common denominator. Friendship and fellowship are the legal tender among believers.

Christians | Friendship | Fellowship
When I hear Christians say, “I don’t do this, and I don’t do that, and I am following a set of rules,” I immediately recognize that they know very little about the grace of God. They are trying to live the Christian life in their own strength. But Paul says, “Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”
– J. Vernon McGee
Grace
When a man and a woman give themselves to each other in an act of marital love, they can know the love of Christ as no one else can know it.
– J. Vernon McGee
Marriage
There are so many people who want to get together to have a great prayer meeting or other great gatherings. Friend, have you ever tried being alone? That is where God will meet with you. Take the Word of God and go off alone with Him. It will do you a lot of good.
– J. Vernon McGee
Scripture
There’s a pardon for every sinner on the topside of the earth, but you have to call for it by faith before it becomes yours. In other words, you have to trust Christ as your Savior.
