Do good…expecting nothing in return. Luke 6:35
D.L. MOODYLove never looks to see what it is going to get in return. I have generally found that those workers who are looking to see how much they are going to get from the Lord are never satisfied. But love does its work and makes no bargain.
ERWIN LUTZERAll of us have aspired to greatness. We would like to be remembered for doing something significant. That desire for significance is actually God-given because God put eternity in our hearts. In our fallenness, we look for significance in all the wrong …

I will seek the lost. Ezekiel 34:16
D.L. MOODYI do not believe there is a man that the Spirit of God has not striven with at some period of his life. Every man who has ever been saved through these six thousand years was sought after by God. No sooner did Adam fall than God sought him. He had gone away frightened, and hid himself away among the bushes in the garden, but God sought him; and from that day to this, God has always taken the initiative to seek the lost.
ERWIN LUTZERWe’ve all heard a testimony …

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.John 5:24
D.L. MOODYI would a thousand times rather stand on that verse than all the frames and feelings I ever had. I took my stand there twenty years ago. Since then, the dark waves of hell have come dashing up against me; the waves of persecution have broken all around me; doubts, fears, and unbelief, in turn, have assailed me; but I have been able to …

So [Zacchaeus] hurried and came down and received [Jesus] joyfully. Luke 19:6
D.L. MOODYDid you ever hear of anyone receiving Christ in any other way? Zacchaeus received Him joyfully. Christ brings joy with Him. Sin, gloom, and darkness flee away; light, peace, and joy burst into the soul.
ERWIN LUTZERChrist does bring joy, but sin causes the cup of joy to spring a leak. If we are troubled by our consciences, if we find ourselves in conflict with the world, our joy can turn into guilt or grief.As believers, we find ourselves beset with many different kinds …

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
D.L. MOODYWhen we are weak, then we are strong. People often think they have not strength enough; the fact is, we have too much strength. It is when we feel that we have no strength of our own that we are willing that God should use us and work through us. If we are leaning on …

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 …

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 …

There is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Luke 15:10
D.L. MOODY“Joy in the presence of angels?” Perhaps the friends who have left the shores of time may be looking down upon us; and when they see someone they prayed for while on Earth turning to God, it sends a thrill of joy to their very hearts. Even now, some mother who has gone up yonder may be looking down upon a son or daughter, and if that child should say: “I will meet that mother of mine; I will decide for God,” the …

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” Mark 16:15
D.L. MOODYI can imagine Jesus saying: “Go search out the man who put that crown of thorns on my brow; tell him I will have a crown for him in my kingdom if he will accept salvation; and there shall not be a thorn in it. Find out that man who took the reed from my hand and smote my head, driving the thorns deeper into my brow. Tell him I want to give him a scepter. Go, seek …

I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.” Luke 15:18
D.L. MOODYOne of the greatest battles ever fought was being fought in the heart of the prodigal. Everything holy and heavenly was beckoning him home. The powers of darkness were trying to keep him from returning.“You go back and they’ll all laugh at you. What’ll they say?” said the devil.No doubt there was an angel hovering over him, watching for the decision, and when he said, “I will arise,” the angel bore …
