Ryan Rufus on Sanctification as Want To

"Sanctification is not a 'have to', it's an overflow of what has already taken place inside of you. Take off the have tos and the want tos will arise...

Take the have tos off the body of Christ and you will discover that all the want tos that got put in at the point of salvation will start to come out."

Ryan Rufus on Law and Sanctification

"A lot of sanctification teaching today is people trying to use something we're no longer under to restrain something that we no longer have. People are trying to use the law that we're no longer under to try to restrain the sinful nature that we no longer have."

Terry Virgo on Freedom to Risk All

"Grace should never lead to passivity, but to outrageous adventure, a lifestyle that baffles those who play safe. It threatens the status quo not only of tentative religion, but of cynical unbelief. It sets the church free to risk all for the praise of him who freely gave all for us."

Terry Virgo - God's Lavish Grace - Monarch - 2004 - p185

Don Carson on Freedom from Rules

Commenting on Philippians 1v9-10:

"Paul refuses to set up an arbitrary set of checkpoints against which Christians are to measure themselves; he refuses to erect hoops through which believers must jump. Rather, he simply prays to his heavenly Father and asks him that these believers may pursue what is best."

Rob Rufus on Condemnation

"Condemnation is a lie from the devil - if you believe that lie even though there is NO condemnation, then condemnation will become an illegitimate reality in your life because you lend credibility to a lie".
