God’s love to us cannot fail any more than His love to Christ can fail.
Faith in Christ and a reliance on ourselves, even to the smallest degree, are mutually exclusive.
When God saves us through Christ, He not only saves us from the penalty of sin, but also from its dominion.
We obey God's Law, not to be loved but because we are loved in Christ.
If there is not at least a yearning in our hearts to live a holy life pleasing to God, we need to seriously question whether our faith in Christ is genuine.
