13 Quotes by Adam S. Miller

In itself, doubt is neither good nor bad. Its value depends on what you do with it.

The gospel: a promise that joy does not depend on what is given but on its givenness.

Grace doesn’t grease the wheels of the law. Grace isn’t God’s way of jury rigging a broken law. It’s the other way around. The law is just one small cog in a world animated entirely – from top to bottom, from beginning to end – by grace.

In this way, the law is like water. There is no life without water. I have to have water. I have to learn how to keep the law. But without Christ, the law works against itself. It works against life,. It freezes solid. Without Christ, the law turns to ice and traps me in sin. Frozen, I die. Only as a type of Christ, only as a servant of Christ’s love, does the law thaw. Christ is not only the light and life of the world. He is the life and light of the law.
