Hebrews 10:9

All work that is worth anything is done in faith.
Albert Schweitzer
Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double.
Zechariah 9:12
The English Standard Version
Not one to monopolize on beer and wine, Luther also enjoyed good water; he prayed, “Dear God, what a noble fluid Thou hast given us in water! It excels all wines; and yet, when we are well, we consider water, which so pleasantly cools and refreshes us, a mere trifle.”
Martin Luther

Humility is the only response we should have towards a God who has given everything for our sake.
John Calvin
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
James 4:17
The King James Version
J. Hudson Taylor, visiting D. L. Moody in Chicago, was invited to preach at Moody’s church. At end of service Moody announced they were going to take an offering and Hudson Taylor, who was the guest speaker, came onstage and said. “No, we have a non-solicitation policy.” Moody thought he was crazy. Lo and behold the next day a man brings Taylor a check for $5000 and tells him, “If I gave yesterday at church I would have only given you $5.” We live in a world where we are probably overly dependent on our human efforts to do God’s work, whereas we are called to a simple faith.

It is cynicism and fear that freeze life; it is faith that thaws it out, releases it, sets it free.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

We should be more interested in what we are going to become than in what we have been.

As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,”

If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior.
