Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. Ephesians 5:14
D.L. MOODYIf the lost are to be reached by the gospel of the Son of God, Christianity must be more aggressive than it has been in the past. We have been on the defensive long enough; the time has come for us to enter on a war of aggression. When we as children of God wake up and go to work in the vineyard, then those who are living in wickedness all about us will be reached; but not in any other way. …

I will set him on high. Psalm 91:14, KJV
D.L. MOODYGod is able to do it. Up above the angels, up above the archangels, up above the cherubim and seraphim, on the throne with His own Son. We are called to be sons and daughters of the eternal God. Do you know, the Prince of Wales cannot sit on the throne with Queen Victoria? But it is not so yonder. Christ has gone up and taken His seat at the right hand of the Father, and every son and daughter of God is to be lifted up to the …

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.I and the Father are one. John 10:28–30
D.L. MOODYThese are precious verses to those who are afraid of falling, who fear they will not hold out. It is God’s work to hold. It is the Shepherd’s business to keep the sheep. Whoever heard of the sheep going to bring back the shepherd? People …

But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot be quiet, and its waters toss up mire and dirt. Isaiah 57:20
D.L. MOODYThe only thing that can keep us from peace is sin. God turns the way of the wicked upside down. “There is no peace unto the wicked,” says God (Isaiah 48:22). They are like the troubled sea that cannot rest, casting up filth and mire all the while; but peace with God by faith in Jesus Christ, peace through the knowledge of forgiven sin is like a rock—the waters go dashing and surging past, but …

You are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14
D.L. MOODYWhen Moses was in Egypt, to punish Pharaoh, he turned the waters into blood. When Christ was on Earth He turned the water into wine. That is the difference between law and grace. The law says, “Kill him;” grace says, “Forgive him.” Law says, “Condemn him;” grace says, “Love him.” When the law came out of Horeb, three thousand men were destroyed. (Exodus 32:28). At Pentecost, under grace, three thousand men found life (Acts 2:41). What a difference! When Moses came to the burning bush, he was commanded …

And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. Mark 10:13
D.L. MOODYI have no sympathy with the idea that our children have to grow up before they are converted. Once I saw a lady with three daughters at her side, and I stepped up to her and asked her if she was a Christian. “Yes, sir.” Then I asked the oldest daughter if she was a Christian. Her chin began to quiver and tears came into her eyes and she said: “I wish I was.” The mother looked very angrily …

On that day many will say to me, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?” And then will I declare to them, “I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness." Matthew 7:22–23
D.L. MOODYIt has been said that there will be three things which will surprise us when we get to heaven—one, to find many whom we did not expect to find there; another, to find some not there whom we had expected; a third, and perhaps the greatest …

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness,against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12
D.L. MOODYThe reason why so many Christians fail all through life is just this—they underestimate the strength of the enemy. We have a terrible enemy to contend with. Don’t let Satan deceive us. Unless we are spiritually dead, it means warfare. Nearly everything around tends to draw us away from God. We do not step clear out of Egypt on to the throne of …

And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness. Romans 4:5
D.L. MOODYThe thief had nails through both hands, so he could not work; and a nail through each foot, so he could not run errands for the Lord. He could not lift a hand or a foot toward his salvation, and yet Christ offered him the gift of God, and he took it. He threw him a passport, and took him with Him into paradise.
ERWIN LUTZERLook again at this remarkable conversion story—the thief …

I am the light of the world. John 8:12
D.L. MOODYI heard of an unbeliever once who said, “Look at your convert; it is all moonshine [total lies].” The young convert replied to him, “I thank you for the compliment. We are perfectly willing to be called that. The moon borrows the light from the sun, and so we borrow ours from Christ.”
ERWIN LUTZERAgain, we are reminded that the moon has no light of its own, it only reflects the light of the sun. Just so, we have no spiritual light apart from our dependence on Christ. …
