“The gospel is never something we use. The gospel is always something that dominates our lives. It is not to be used to effect sanctification. It leads to sanctification. In the fullest sense, holiness of living flows from the gospel only when the gospel is the center of our thinking and more highly valued than the holiness of life that flows from it.”
– Robert J. Koester, Gospel Motivation: More than “Jesus died for my sins”
