"Because He Loves Me"

Because He loves me is a book by Elyse M. Fitzpatrick which keeps bringing me back to what compels me in life: Christ's love. Yes, God is wrathful, just & holy, but He also loved the world enough to give it His only Son to save people from sin. I hope to never stop being overwhelmed by this act of sacrifice. This is the gospel & this is what true Christianity is powered by. Fitzpatrick says it well:

"True Christianity is not a program of self-improvement; it's an acknowledgment that something more than self-improvement is needed. What's needed is death and resurrection: gospel power--a loving Redeemer." (pg. 25)
