We submit to authority to serve as a witness to the very reality of our new birth and status as a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and as God’s special possession.

The church exists to set up in the world a new sign which is radically dissimilar to the world’s own manner and which contradicts it in a way that is full of promise.

When we embrace who God is, what he has done, and who we are, we can truly live into our identity as his people who have received his mercy.

Once we have tasted the goodness of Christ and his gospel we can boldly and confidently work alongside Jesus as ‘royal priests.’

Once we have tasted the goodness of Christ and his gospel, we will long for more, and is this longing that fuels our continued growth.

Because we have been born again by the imperishable seed of our Heavenly Father, our character and our love increasingly reflects his.

Christians live in the [right] fear of God because he is our Heavenly Father who is altogether holy and just and is the one who judges fully and impartially.

We focused on the idea that our new status as God’s children (identity) both exhorts and empowers us to be holy like our Father in Heaven is holy (activity)

Grace is [the characteristic of God's work] that enables God to confront human indifference and rebellion with an inexhaustible capacity to forgive and to bless.
